The US side imposed a 25% tariff on thousands of commodities worth about US $50 billion, which will substantially change the terms of trade of these commodities with the United States, and affect the production and operation of the production enterprises and trading enterprises of these commodities and their upstream and downstream related enterprises. Therefore, in accordance with the basic principles of international law and in accordance with the provisions and authorization of laws and regulations such as the foreign trade law of the people's Republic of China and the import and export tariff regulations of the people's Republic of China, China has decided to impose the same degree of tax on imported goods of the same amount from the United States, so as to defend its legitimate rights and interests.
China has noted that the United States issued a statement saying that if China takes retaliatory measures, the United States will continue to add additional tariffs. In this regard, China will reserve the right to take corresponding measures.
