On April 16, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lin Jian presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked, the latest statement from the White House on its official website stated that due to China's retaliatory measures, the US imposed tariffs on China to 245%. What is China's response?

Lin Jian said that you can ask the US side for the specific tax rate figure. China has repeatedly stated its solemn position on the issue of tariffs. This tariff war was initiated by the United States. China has taken necessary countermeasures in order to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests and international fairness and justice, and is completely reasonable and legal. There are no winners in tariff wars and trade wars. China is unwilling to fight, but it is never afraid of fighting.
