CCTV News: According to the China Chamber of Mechanical and Electrical Products Import and Export, the China Chamber of Mechanical and Electrical Products’ solemn statement on the US’s 10% tariff on Chinese products was released a few days ago. The specific content is as follows.
On February 1, local time in the United States, the US government announced an additional 10% tariff on Chinese products imported to the United States on the grounds of fentanyl and other issues. The China Chamber of Mechanical and Electrical Products Import and Export of the Mechanical and Electrical Products hereby declared solemnly that it strongly opposes the United States' unilateral imposition of import tariffs. The US's unilateral tariff imposition is seriously violating WTO rules, which is not only unhelpful to solve its own problems, but also causes damage to normal economic and trade cooperation between China and the United States.
The Sino-US trade has always been closely linked, bringing tangible benefits to both enterprises and people. The tariffs this time directly increase corporate costs and disrupt supply chain stability. It not only harms Chinese export companies, but also American importers and consumers.
Trade is not a zero-sum game, and win-win cooperation is the right way to develop. We call on the United States to abandon trade protectionism, resolve differences through equal dialogue and consultation, and jointly maintain an open, fair and stable international trade order.
