More measures against the United States, Trump panicked
Given that the United States has repeatedly imposed tariffs and provocations against China, China has finally taken countermeasures in recent days.
The announcement makes it clear that from February 10, 2025, tariffs will be imposed on some imported goods originating in the United States: 15% tariffs on coal and liquefied natural gas, and 10% tariffs on crude oil, agricultural machinery, large-displacement vehicles, and pickup trucks, as shown in the annex to the announcement; For the imported commodities listed in the Annex originating in the United States, corresponding tariffs shall be imposed respectively on the basis of the current applicable tariff rates, and the existing bonded, tax reduction and exemption policies shall remain unchanged.
The US has severely violated WTO rules by imposing tariffs on Chinese imports. It is a typical unilateralism and trade protectionism. What the US has done seriously undermines the rules-based multilateral trading system, undermines the foundation of China-Us economic and trade cooperation, and disrupts the stability of the global industrial chain and supply chain. The US has repeatedly overridden multilateralism with unilateralism, which has been strongly condemned by the majority of WTO members. The Chinese side firmly opposes the US move and urges the US to immediately correct its wrong move.
