The spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said: "The United States has abused tariffs against all its trading partners under the guise of so-called 'parity', while simultaneously forcing all parties to start what is called 'mutual tariff negotiations with it'."
The Ministry of Commerce stated that China is determined and capable of protecting its rights and interests, and is ready to strengthen solidarity with all parties.
