According to PANews, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian criticized the United States for imposing a 125% tariff on Chinese goods. Lin stated that the U.S. is using tariffs as a tool for extreme pressure, which serves its own interests while severely infringing on the legitimate rights of other countries. This action, Lin argued, violates World Trade Organization rules and undermines the multilateral trading system, posing a threat to the global economic order. Lin emphasized that the U.S. actions are tantamount to confronting the entire world.
