The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answered reporters' questions regarding China's lawsuit against the U.S. for imposing additional tariffs at the World Trade Organization

The U.S. imposition of tariffs on Chinese products exported to the U.S. seriously violates World Trade Organization rules, is of a malicious nature, and is a typical practice of unilateralism and trade protectionism. The U.S. actions severely undermine the rules-based multilateral trading system, disrupt the foundation of economic and trade cooperation between China and the U.S., and disturb the stability of global industrial and supply chains. The U.S. has repeatedly prioritized unilateralism over multilateralism, which has been strongly condemned by a wide range of WTO members. China firmly opposes the U.S. actions and urges the U.S. to immediately correct its erroneous practices
