Foreign Ministry spokesperson: If the US continues to play the tariff numbers game, China will ignore it

According to a report by Jin Shi, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs answered questions from reporters regarding the US statement that China is currently facing tariffs of up to 245%. Q: On April 15th Eastern Time, the White House website released a factual list regarding the "232" investigation, stating that due to China's tariff countermeasures against the United States, China is currently facing tariffs of up to 245%. What is China's comment on this? Answer: We have taken note of the relevant reports. As for how the figure of 245% came about, you should ask the US side. The Chinese side has previously emphasized that the repeated imposition of abnormally high tariffs by the US on China has become a digital game, with no practical economic significance, and will only further expose the US's tactics of instrumentalizing and weaponizing tariffs and engaging in bullying and coercion. There is no winner in the tariff war or trade war. China is unwilling to fight, but it is also not afraid to fight. If the US continues to play the tariff numbers game, China will ignore it. If the US insists on continuing to substantially infringe upon China's rights and interests, China will resolutely counteract and accompany to the end.
