China Strongly Condemns US Over New Tariff Hikes and National Security Probe

China's Firm Stance Against US Tariff Policies

In a recent press conference, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian expressed strong disapproval towards the White House's latest announcement regarding increased tariff restrictions on China. The US has imposed a new tariff rate of up to 245%, citing retaliatory measures from China as the reason.

US Launches National Security Inquiry

Alongside the tariff hike, the White House has initiated a national security investigation into critical resource imports. This move has further strained the already tense trade relations between the two economic giants.

China's Response to US Actions

Lin Jian emphasized that the tariff war was started by the US and that China's countermeasures are solely aimed at protecting its legitimate rights and interests. The spokesperson's remarks underscore China's determination to stand firm against what it views as unjust economic pressures.
