The Ministry of Commerce held a regular press conference on the 27th. In response to questions about the US government considering imposing an additional 7.5% tariff on imported goods from China, Commerce Department press spokesman Huang Ling said that the US side launched a 301 investigation against 16 economies, including China, on the grounds of “overcapacity,” and politicized economic and trade issues. This is a typical act of unilateralism and protectionism. China firmly opposes this. We will continue to closely monitor and comprehensively evaluate the US side's next steps, and reserve the right to take all necessary measures.
