The Chinese Ministry of Commerce said on Friday He “strongly opposes” the American president Donald TrumpAnother threat to intensify customs tariffs on Chinese goods and pledged revenge, if necessary.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce said in a statement translated by CNBC.

“We urge the American side not to repeat its own mistakes, and to return as soon as possible to the correct path to the solution properly through an equal dialogue.”

The statement followed Trump’s announcement on Thursday that the United States will An additional duty of 10 % on Chinese imports On March 4, which coincides with the beginning Annual parliamentary meetings in China.

The new customs duties will be at the top of the 10 % customs tariffs imposed by Trump in China on February 4.

Trump has announced the imposition of two of China’s duties in response to the role of the Asian state in the Fintanel trade. The addiction medicine, which is mostly produced in China and Mexico, has led tens of thousands of excessive deaths every year in the United States.

“In the short term, China’s response will include raising the customs tariff to the imports of the United States chosen, adding more American companies to the list of unreliable entities, and possibly tightening export controls to critical minerals,” said Nile Thomas, a Chinese politician at the Asia Association, said via e -mail.

He pointed out that he is expected to remain in the “measured” revenge, as a Chinese president Xi Jinping He has an incentive to meet his American counterpart and start negotiations to avoid measures that put more pressure on slow economic growth.

China’s exports were a rare bright point in a slowdown economy. The United States is the largest commercial partner in China on the basis of one country.

Alfredo Montfafe Hilo, President of the China Center at the Conference Council, said that while Beijing may maintain a “restricted” position, the upcoming moves will target industries that are more important to Trump supporters.

He said China prefers to leave room for more negotiations because it hopes to avoid high import tariffs and other “corrective” measures by Washington.

After the first round of definitions earlier this month, Chinese reprisals included Raise duties on some US energy imports And putting two American companies on an unreliable entity list that could restrict their ability to do business in the Asian country.

China also increased controls for critical metal exports the United States needs.

“The shares of China in a quarantine are restricting access to critical minerals that cannot be easily obtained elsewhere,” said Stephen Olson, a visiting colleague at the Institute of Southeast Asia Studies and a former trade negotiator in the United States.

Although there are no details, the statement of the Ministry of Commerce on Friday hit a stronger tone than the country’s response to 10 % preliminary duties earlier this month.

The Ministry defended the efforts to control drugs in China and described the last threat of tariffs – based on illegal fentanel flows – as a “purely blaming” transformation without the help of the United States in solving its drug problems. The additional fees also condemned “in addition to the burdens on American companies and consumers and disrupting the global supply chain.”

Montfafe Hilo said that the last statement “sends a clear message that the Chinese government is ready to respond to the defense of national interests, and they will not” curve the knee. “

On the other hand, the ministry February 2 statement Washington urged the management of fentanel issues “objectively and anxiety” with warning definitions that may destroy economic and commercial relations in China and the United States.

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs also visited its accent in response to the tariffs on Friday. The spokesman for the spokesman, Lyn Jian, said in the Chinese comments reported by the government media and translated by CNBC, that the United States Law of “pressure, coercion and threat” with the customs tariff will only come in reverse.

Deborah Els, head of commercial policy at the Henrich Corporation, told CNBC that Trump’s announcement of the additional customs tariff “will push China to the assumption position that the deal may not be possible or may not be investigating in the short term.”

She added: “This leaves Beijing with two options: Either the measured responses continue in the hope of avoiding more escalation and perhaps even retracting the current measures; or going more more,” as “previous modest measures were not sufficient and the threat was not taken seriously.”

At the beginning of his second term, Trump ordered his administration to investigate Beijing’s compliance with a commercial agreement that highlighted during his first presidency in 2020. The final result of the evaluation will be delivered to Trump by April 1.

This can pave the way for more procedures for what Trump called “mutual definitions”, raising duties in various countries, including China, to match the fees based on American imports.

In a publication on social media on Thursday, the US President stressed that “the history of the second mutual tariff in April will remain in power and complete influence.”
