Foreign media: Mexico plans to increase the tariff on imported Chinese cars from 20% to 50%, a move that China considers as "limiting China under coercion." China has expressed firm opposition and emphasized its determination to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.
Analysts point out that Mexico's move, in addition to protecting domestic manufacturing jobs, is also aimed at catering to the United States, to avoid becoming a "back door for Chinese goods to enter the US." The US had hinted that Mexico could impose tariffs on Chinese goods to avoid its own tariff measures.
China warned Mexico to proceed with caution, or it would take countermeasures. Mexico's tariff plan still needs approval from Congress.
