Xinhua News Agency reported today: "The United States has imposed a 100% tariff on China. On Sunday (October 12), the Chinese Ministry of Commerce stated, 'It is not the right way to deal with China by threatening with high tariffs.' The Chinese position on the tariff war has always been consistent, 'We do not want to fight, but we are not afraid to fight.'"
Facing the tariff war initiated by the US side, the Chinese position has always been clear and firm: "If you want to fight, we will follow you all the way; if you want to talk, the door is open." This statement not only demonstrates the confidence of China in safeguarding its own interests, but also reflects the sense of responsibility of a major country. It should be clearly stated that the instigator of the tariff war is the US side. China's countermeasures are not an active provocation of the dispute, but a just and inevitable act to safeguard national sovereignty and core interests.
If the US side wants to solve the problem through negotiations, it must show sincerity of equality, respect, and mutual benefit, rather than one-sidedly exerting maximum pressure, constantly threatening and blackmailing, or changing policies arbitrarily and acting inconsistently. For such unreasonable pressure, China will not give in, and will only respond with firm countermeasures.
In fact, harmony brings benefits to both sides, while confrontation harms both. Only by abandoning the mindset of confrontation and living in peace with China, moving in the same direction, can the US side achieve win-win cooperation. Otherwise, it will end up hurting itself.
