The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answers questions from reporters on China's lawsuit against the US "equal tariff" measures at the WTO.

On April 4th, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answered questions from reporters about China's lawsuit against the US "tariffs" at the World Trade Organization. The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce stated that the US announced the imposition of "tariffs" on all trading partners, including China, and China has filed a lawsuit through the WTO dispute settlement mechanism. The US imposition of so-called "tariffs" seriously violates WTO rules, seriously damages the legitimate rights and interests of WTO members, seriously undermines the rules-based multilateral trading system and international economic and trade order, is a typical practice of unilateral bullying, and harms the stability of the global economic and trade order. China firmly opposes this. The following is the full text: Q: It is reported that China has filed a lawsuit at the World Trade Organization against the US for imposing "tariffs" on Chinese products. Can you provide more details? A: On April 2nd, US Eastern Time, the US announced the imposition of "tariffs" on all trading partners, including China, and China has filed a lawsuit through the WTO dispute settlement mechanism. The US imposition of so-called "tariffs" seriously violates WTO rules, seriously damages the legitimate rights and interests of WTO members, seriously undermines the rules-based multilateral trading system and international economic and trade order, is a typical practice of unilateral bullying, and harms the stability of the global economic and trade order. China firmly opposes this. China has always been a staunch defender of the international economic and trade order and a strong supporter of the multilateral trading system. We urge the US to immediately correct its wrongful actions and cancel its unilateral tariff measures.
