In a message published on the website of the Ministry of Commerce, the Ombudsman stressed that possible increasing customs duties by the USA "typical unilateral hegemonic actions". China considers that American threats uncover the "nature of blackmail" and are unacceptable.
This is simply a reaction to president Donald Trump's words, who threatened to impose an additional 50 percent work on China on Wednesday if Beijing did not retreat from of its 34 percent retaliatory duties on all goods from the USAwhich the Chinese authorities announced on Friday. They are to enter into force on April 10.
China warns Donald Trump
‘If the United States insists on its own, China will accompany them to the end” said the spokesperson for the ministry, who was not mentioned by name.
The Ombudsman stressed that the retaliatory measures taken by the PRC were intended to defend China's ‘scenario, safety and interests’ and to keep a average global trade order.
The Communist authorities in Beijing called on Washington to "immediately correct missteps", to abolish all the "one-sided duties" imposed on China, to halt the "economic and commercial repressions" and to resolve disputes by "equal dialog based on common respect".
‘Pressure and threats are not the right way to deal with China“ He reiterated, adding that trade war has no winners, and protectionism does not lead to anything good.
If Trump fulfilled his threat, and the fresh 50-percent. the work would be added to the previously declared, this would mean that the basic rate for almost all imports from the PRC would be 104 %.
