CCTV News: According to the Office of the State Council’s Tariff Commission, on April 2, 2025, the US government announced that it would impose "reciprocal tariffs" on Chinese goods imported to the United States. The US's approach does not comply with international trade rules and seriously damages China's legitimate rights and interests. It is a typical unilateral bullying practice, which not only harms the US's own interests, but also endangers global economic development and stability of production and supply chains.
In accordance with the "Tariff Law of the People's Republic of China", "Customs Law of the People's Republic of China", "Foreign Trade Law of the People's Republic of China" and other laws and regulations and basic principles of international law, with the approval of the State Council, the Tariffs and Rules Committee of the State Council has issued an announcement that from 12:01 on April 10, 2025, a 34% tariff will be imposed on all imported goods originating from the United States. Before 12:01 on April 10, 2025, the goods have been shipped from the place of departure and imported from 12:01 on April 10, 2025 to 24:00 on May 13, 2025, the tariffs imposed this time will not be imposed.
China urges the US to immediately abolish unilateral tariff measures and resolve trade differences through consultations through equality, respect and reciprocity.
