CHINA UNVEILS TARIFFS ON CHINA UNVEILS TARIFFS ON $50B WORTH OF $50B WORTH OF US PRODUCTSUS PRODUCTS
CHINA yesterday unveiled a list of products imported from the United States worth US$50 billion that will be subject to higher tariffs, including soy-beans, automobiles and chemi-cal products.
The Customs Tariff Commis-sion of the State Council has decided to impose additional tar-iffs of 25 percent on 106 items of products under 14 categories, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) said in a statement on its website.
The move was taken after the U.S. administration announced a proposed list of products subject to additional tariffs, which covers Chinese exports worth US$50 bil-lion with a suggested tariff rate of 25 percent.
The date of implementation will depend on when the U.S. Govern-ment imposes the tariffs on Chi-nese products, the MOF said.
China yesterday fi led a request for consultations under the WTO
dispute settlement framework over the U.S. tariff hike proposals based on the Section 301 investi-gation against it, the Ministry of Commerce (MOC) said.
The U.S. move “severely infringed on the legitimate rights and interests that China enjoys in accordance with the WTO rules, and threatened China’s economic interests and security,” the MOC said.
Affected products will include a wide variety of agricultural products such as soybeans, corn, beef, orange juice and tobacco. A range of chemicals and auto-mobiles, as well as aircraft with unladen weight between 15 tons and 45 tons, will also be subject to the tariffs.
Both countries should stay rational and manage differences in a constructive manner, the MOF added.
China urged the United States to abandon trade tariffs and return
to dialogue, consultation and win-win cooperation, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang told a daily press briefi ng yesterday.
“Those who attempt to make China surrender through pres-sure or intimidation have never succeeded before and will not succeed now,” he said.
Geng said China has showed sincerity in seeking solutions through dialogue, “however, the United States has repeatedly missed the best opportunities for an appropriate resolution.”
There is no winner in a trade war, he said, adding the U.S. tariff proposals hurt the interests of the United States fi rst.
The United States, with the world’s leading technology and manufacturing capabili-ties, should be more confi dent, and compete fairly, rather than imposing unilateralist, pro-tectionist measures, said the spokesperson.
The European Union (EU) does not support measures that run counter to WTO law, Daniel Rosario, its spokesman said yesterday.
The Offi ce of U.S. Trade Rep-resentative on Tuesday published a proposed list of Chinese goods subject to additional 25 percent tariffs. The proposed list covers approximately 1,300 products imported from China, including industries such as aerospace, information and communica-tion technology, robotics and machinery.
The list, which will undergo further review in a public notice and comment process, is based on a so-called Section 301 investiga-tion into alleged Chinese intel-lectual property and technology transfer practices, launched by the Trump administration in August 2017.
