On the afternoon of April 3rd, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a regular press conference. Spokesperson Guo Jia Kun stated that the U.S. is imposing tariffs on products exported to the U.S. from multiple countries, including China, under the guise of "reciprocity," which seriously violates World Trade Organization rules and severely undermines the multilateral trading system based on rules. China firmly opposes this and will take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard its legitimate interests. China has repeatedly emphasized that there are no winners in a trade war or tariff war, and that protectionism has no future. China urges the U.S. to correct its erroneous practices and to negotiate trade differences with all countries, including China, in an equal, respectful, and mutually beneficial manner.
