Spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce responds to questions from reporters regarding the Supreme Court of the United States' announcement of the ruling on the tariff lawsuit.

Question: On February 20th, Eastern Standard Time, the United States Supreme Court announced the ruling on the tariff lawsuit, determining that the U.S. government's imposition of retaliatory tariffs, fentanyl tariffs, and other related tariffs on trade partners under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act is illegal. What is the Ministry of Commerce's evaluation of this? We have noticed the announcement of the ruling on the tariff lawsuit by the United States Supreme Court and are conducting a comprehensive assessment of the relevant content and impact. China has always opposed all forms of unilateral tariff measures and has repeatedly emphasized that there are no winners in a trade war and protectionism leads to a dead end. The U.S. imposition of retaliatory tariffs and fentanyl tariffs violates international trade rules and U.S. domestic laws, and is not in the interests of all parties. Facts have repeatedly shown that cooperation between China and the U.S. benefits both sides, while confrontation harms both. China urges the U.S. to lift the relevant unilateral tariff measures imposed on trade partners. We have also noticed that the U.S. is preparing to take alternative measures such as trade investigations to maintain the tariffs imposed on trade partners. China will closely monitor this and firmly defend China's interests.
