China's Ministry of Commerce has fired back at the United States over recent tariff hikes, labeling the move as unjustified and a display of protectionism and bullying. 🇨🇳💪
The U.S. government recently imposed an additional 10% tariff on all Chinese imports, citing concerns over fentanyl-related substances. This follows an earlier 10% tariff announcement on February 1st. 🇺🇸📈
In response, China's State Council Information Office released a white paper titled "Controlling Fentanyl-Related Substances – China's Contribution," highlighting the country's rigorous regulatory measures and its commitment to global drug control efforts. 📄🔍
The Ministry emphasized that China has been proactive in managing fentanyl-related issues, calling on the U.S. to reassess its tariff decisions and engage in fair trade practices. 🤝🌏
