Business Ministry website news, on the 16th, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answered questions from reporters regarding the US tariff rate on China.
A reporter asked: On April 15th Eastern Time, the White House website released a fact sheet about the Section 232 investigation into critical minerals and derived products, mentioning that due to China's retaliatory measures against US "reciprocal tariffs", Chinese exports to the US are now facing up to 245% in tariffs. Does this mean that the US has again increased its tariffs on China? What are the comments from the Ministry of Commerce?
Answer: China has noticed that for some individual goods exported to the US, the total tariffs under various names have reached 245%. This fully exposes the fact that the US side has gone to irrational extremes in weaponizing and tooling tariffs. China has previously made clear its position on the US unilateral imposition of tariffs. Regarding this meaningless tariff number game by the US side, China will not pay attention to it. However, if the US side insists on substantially infringing upon China's rights and interests, China will firmly counterattack and see it through to the end.
