The Chinese Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) said on Sunday that the United States' decision to impose tariff exemptions for electronic marks a "small step" in correcting the "wrong practice" of introducing a 145% duty on Chinese imports.
"China is now evaluating the impact," a spokesperson for the ministry said and urged the US to "face up to the rational voices of the international community and domestic parties, take a significant step in correcting its mistakes, completely cancel the wrong practice of 'reciprocal tariffs,' and return to the right path of mutual respect and resolving differences through equal dialogue."
On Saturday, the administration of US President Donald Trump announced that technological devices, including smartphones, semiconductors, memory cards and computers will not be subject to the 145% tariffs, though they may face lower levies.
