China has strongly responded to US tariff increases, calling them reckless and unfair. In a statement from the National Development and Reform Commission, China stressed its commitment to upholding fairness, international law and the global economic order.
Officials argue that the US’s unilateral actions echo past policy mistakes, risk global instability and harm both the US and international economies. In contrast, China has taken targeted steps to protect its interests while promoting global cooperation and multilateral trade under WTO principles.
China reiterated its willingness to engage in dialogue but warned that it would “fight to the end” if forced to fight. The message is clear: global fairness must be upheld, and protectionism has no place in today’s interconnected world.
