CCTV News: The China Food, Local and Animal Import and Export Chamber of Commerce issued a statement on firmly opposing the US government's imposition of reciprocal tariffs. The specific content is as follows.
On April 2, 2025, the US government announced that it would impose "reciprocal tariffs" on Chinese goods imported to the US. This approach of the United States does not comply with international trade rules and seriously damages China's legitimate rights and interests. It will not only not bring economic benefits to the United States, but will also have a serious negative impact on the global industrial chain and supply chain.
The China Food, Local and Animal Import and Export Chamber of Commerce represents China's food and agricultural product import and export industry, firmly opposes the US government's trade protectionist practice, and firmly supports all countermeasures taken by the Chinese government to safeguard national interests and corporate rights and interests.
We call on China's food and agricultural product import and export industries to unite, strengthen cooperation, and jointly explore domestic and foreign markets. The Chamber of Commerce will always be a strong backing for the industry. Under the leadership of the Chinese government, we will stand with Chinese food and agricultural product import and export companies to jointly respond to the challenges brought by the US imposing tariffs and jointly promote the high-quality development of the industry.
