China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOC) on Thursday reiterated its opposition to the abuse of Section 301 by the US to increase tariffs on some Chinese products.
China has repeatedly made solemn representations to the US side over the tariffs, said MOC spokeswoman He Yongqian. She made these remarks at a press conference when responding to a question about the recent proposal made by the Office of the United States Trade Representative to increase Section 301 tariffs on five sub-items such as tungsten, wafers and polysilicon.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) has ruled that Section 301 tariffs violate WTO rules, but the US is going further down the wrong path with its recent actions, she said. China calls on the US to remove all additional tariffs on Chinese products as soon as possible to secure global industrial and supply chains and protect the fundamental interests of consumers and producers in the two countries, He noted.
