China Commerce Ministry Official: US Tariff Plan Harms WTO System, Globalization

The Trump administration raised the stakes in its trade war with China on Tuesday, saying it would slap 10 percent tariffs on an extra $200 billion worth of Chinese imports, Reuters reported.

The Ministry of Commerce’s Li Chenggang said the only correct choice for China-US relations was cooperation.

Li said China’s determination to improve the domestic business environment and its support for the multilateral trading system will not change.
