China reaffirmed its opposition to unilateral tariff measures following recent comments from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump about imposing steep tariffs on trade partners, including China.
A spokesperson of the Chinese Commerce Ministry on Thursday emphasized that arbitrary tariffs would fail to address domestic issues in the United States. Beijing highlighted its consistent stance against such measures, suggesting that any tariff escalation could lead to reciprocal responses.
Trump's proposed tariffs, including 25% on Mexico and Canada and 10% on Chinese goods, have raised alarms among officials and industries worldwide, who warn of potential disruptions in the global economy.
