CHINA VOWS TO ‘FIGHT BACK FIRMLY’ IF US PUBLISHES ADDITIONAL TARIFFS
    2018-06-20  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A SPOKESPERSON of the Ministry of Commerce (MOC) said yesterday that if the United States loses its rationality and unveils another list of Chinese products for additional tariffs, China will have no choice but to take comprehensive measures combining quantitative and qualitative ones to resolutely strike back.


After unveiling plans to impose additional tariffs on Chinese goods worth around US$50 billion, the United States went even further by threatening to identify US$200 billion worth of Chinese products for additional tariffs.


“Such a practice of imposing extreme pressure and blackmailing is contrary to the consensus the two sides have reached through rounds of consultations, and disappoints the international community,” the spokesperson said.


“The trade war waged by the United States is against both the law of the market and the development trend of today’s world. It undermines the interests of the Chinese and American people, the interests of companies and the interests of the people all over the world,” said the spokesperson.


The response taken by China aims to safeguard and defend not only the interests of the Chinese nation and the people, but also free trade regime and the common interests of mankind, said the spokesperson.


No matter how the external environment changes, China will follow its established rhythm, stick to the vision of making development people-centered, resolutely advance reform and opening up, resolutely promote high-quality economic development, and accelerate the development of a modern economy, said the spokesperson.


Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang yesterday urged the United States to be more rational concerning the ongoing trade issue and to stop undermining the interests of others as well as itself.


“China does not want a trade war, but it does not fear one,” said Geng.


The statements were responding to news that U.S. President Donald Trump has requested the United States Trade Representative to identify US$200 billion worth of Chinese goods for additional tariffs at a rate of 10 percent. (Xinhua)
