The Chinese Ministry of Commerce said that it “firmly opposes” the threat of US President Donald Trump to escalate the customs tariff, and pledged to provide counter -measures to protect its rights and interests.
The comments came after Trump said he would impose an additional 50 % duty on US imports from China on Wednesday, if Beijing does not withdraw the 34 % tariff imposed on American products last week.
