In response to a query regarding a White House statement about tariffs on Chinese imports, China's Foreign Ministry issued a statement on Thursday. The ministry acknowledged the report and directed inquiries about the specific tariff figures to the United States.
The Foreign Ministry characterized the high tariffs as a "numbers game," devoid of practical economic value. They argued that this approach reveals the United States' tactic of employing tariffs as a tool for intimidation and coercion.
China emphasized its stance that trade wars benefit no one. While not seeking conflict, China is prepared to respond. The statement indicated that if the United States persists with its tariff strategy, China will disregard it.
Furthermore, the statement concluded that China would continue to defend its rights and interests if the United States continues to infringe upon them.

Good, the US is standing firm. China's economy might rely on exports, but it’s time they played by the rules.

Good. The US needs to stand up to China's trade practices. They've been getting away with it for too long.
