Jordan Daily – China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) on Thursday condemned the United States’ decision to impose “reciprocal tariffs” on all its trading partners, saying it “strongly opposes the move and will firmly take countermeasures to safeguard its own interests.”
In a statement seen by the Jordan Daily, MOFCOM said the U.S. action “disregards the balance of interests achieved through years of multilateral trade negotiations” and “ignores the fact that the U.S. has long reaped substantial benefits from international trade.”
It accused Washington of using a unilateral and subjective approach to justify higher tariffs, calling it a “typical act of unilateral bullying” that “violates international trade rules” and “severely undermine[s] the legitimate rights and interests of relevant parties.”
“History has proven that raising tariffs does not solve U.S.’ own problems – it harms U.S. interests while also threatening global economic growth and the stability of industrial and supply chains,” the ministry said. “There is no winner in a trade war, and protectionism leads nowhere.”
