"China will not comply": Beijing dismisses Donald Trump’s ultimatum of 'NEW tariffs on China of 50%'
On Tuesday, China’s Ministry of Commerce announced it would oppose US tariffs "until the very end," in response to President Donald Trump's threat to impose 50% tariffs on imports from the country's economy, which ranks second globally.
A spokesperson for the ministry condemned the actions of the US, referring to it as "an error on top of an error" that underscores America's propensity for coercion, according to Bloomberg. "China will never accept this," stated the spokesperson.
"The US will face resistance if it continues down this path," the spokesperson continued.
A representative from the Chinese commerce ministry urged the United States to resolve conflicts with China through respectful and equal discussions. President Donald Trump threatened to "impose ADDITIONAL Tariffs on China of 50%" unless Beijing revokes a 34% retaliatory tax on American products.
"If China does not remove its 34% increase, which is in addition to their ongoing trade violations, by tomorrow, April 8th, 2025, then the US will enforce NEW Tariffs of 50% on China effective April 9th," Trump announced on social media.
He also remarked, "All discussions with China regarding their requests for meetings will be canceled!"
