BlockBeats reported that on May 15, in the afternoon of May 15, the Ministry of Commerce held a regular press conference. Ministry of Commerce spokesperson He Yongqian stated: Regarding the U.S. 232 tariffs on imported cars and steel and aluminum, as well as the U.S. 232 investigation into imported medicines, China believes that the U.S. actions are typical of unilateralism and protectionism, which not only harm the rights and interests of other countries and undermine the rules-based multilateral trading system, but also are not beneficial to the development of its own industries.
China urges the U.S. to quickly stop the 232 tariff measures and properly address the concerns of all parties through equal dialogue. (Riyue Tan Tian)
