#ChinaOpposesUSProposed7.5%Tariff The US' move of a Section 301 probe into 16 economies, including China, on the grounds of so-called overcapacity, is a typical act of unilateralism and protectionism, which China firmly opposes, Huang Ling, a new spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM), said at a regular press conference on Thursday. China reserves the right to take any countermeasure, she said. The remarks were made in response to a media inquiry regarding reports that the US government is considering imposing an additional 7.5 percent tariff on Chinese imports on the grounds of so-called overcapacity.$BTR $TAC $ONG
