On May 10, Reuters quoted two people familiar with the matter as saying on May 9 local time that US President Biden will announce new tariffs on China's strategic sectors, including electric vehicles, as soon as next week. One of the people familiar with the matter said that specific areas will also include semiconductors and solar energy equipment. At a regular press conference of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs held on May 10, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said in response to a question from foreign media reporters "What is the response of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to this?" Please ask the competent authorities for details. The previous US administration imposed "301 tariffs" on China, which seriously disrupted the normal economic and trade exchanges between China and the United States. It has been ruled by the WTO to violate WTO rules. Instead of correcting its wrong practices, the US continues to politicize economic and trade issues, abuse the so-called "301 tariff" review process, and want to further increase tariffs. This is a mistake on top of a mistake. We urge the US to abide by WTO rules and lift all tariffs on China, let alone increase tariffs. China will take all necessary measures to defend its rights and interests.
