China will play along to the end if the United
States was bent on waging a trade or tariff war, the Chinese foreign ministry
said on Tuesday.(4 Mar ’25)
China on Tuesday swiftly retaliated against fresh
U.S. tariffs, announcing 10%-15% hikes to import levies covering a range of
American agricultural and food products. It also placed 25 U.S. firms under
export and investment restrictions on national security grounds.
China's
countermeasures are to protect its own rights and interests, ministry
spokesperson Lin Jian told a regular press conference on Tuesday, urging the
U.S. to return to dialogue and cooperation as soon as possible.
