On the afternoon of March 12, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a regular press conference. A reporter asked about the official entry into force of a 25% tariff on all imported steel and aluminum by the United States. Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mao Ning: China has always believed that there is no way out to engage in protectionism, and that there are no winners in trade wars or tariff wars. This is also the general consensus of the international community. The US approach seriously violates WTO rules, seriously damages the rules-based multilateral trading system, and is not conducive to resolving the issue. China will also take all necessary measures to protect its legitimate rights and interests.
