Balancing act China considers response to 'bullying' by US
The Guardian
|April 04, 2025
China has condemned the "unilateral bullying" practices of the US and urged Washington to immediately drop the enormous tariffs placed on Chinese goods.
Chinese goods, which were already subject to a 20% levy, received an additional 34% tariff, taking the total tariff to 54%. The additional levy takes effect on 9 April.
China's commerce ministry said yesterday it would take "necessary measures to resolutely safeguard legitimate rights and interests" without elaborating. "There are no winners in trade wars, and there is no way out for protectionism," it said.
The foreign ministry accused the US of "bullying" but official state media was relatively muted. This reflected the fact that China, unlike other countries, is well accustomed to US tariffs, said Wang Wen, the dean of Renmin University of China's Chongyang institute for financial studies.
