CCTV News: On April 3, a spokesperson for the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade made a speech on the US’s announcement of reciprocal tariffs.
On April 2, Eastern Time, the United States announced that it would impose so-called "reciprocal tariffs" on all trading partners. The Chinese business community expressed deep regret and firmly opposed this. The US's unilateral tariffs are seriously violated WTO rules and seriously disrupted the global production and supply chain, which cannot solve the US's own problems and seriously hindered global economic development.
Under the background of economic globalization, the global business community has integrated development and shared a shared destiny. The Chinese business community firmly supports the multilateral trading system with the WTO as the core, continues to promote trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, and promotes all countries to expand the "cake" of common development through open cooperation. We urge the US to respect economic laws, uphold market rules, strengthen cooperation with all countries, properly resolve differences through equal dialogue, and create a good international environment for the global business community to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.
