On the 25th, He Yongqian, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce, addressed the US's announcement regarding the imposition of additional 301 tariffs on select Chinese semiconductor products. He stated that China has duly noted the situation and, through the China-US economic and trade consultation mechanism, has formally lodged representations with the US. China disagrees with the findings of the US 301 investigation and stands firmly against the US's move to levy extra tariffs on Chinese semiconductor products.

He Yongqian highlighted that the US's unilateral tariff actions breach World Trade Organization regulations, disrupt the global economic and trade landscape, cause instability in the worldwide industrial and supply chains, and adversely affect the interests of both US businesses and consumers. China urges the US to promptly rectify its errors and revoke the relevant measures. China is open to collaborating with the US, adhering to the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and mutually beneficial cooperation, to address concerns through equitable dialogue and consultation. Should the US persist in infringing upon China's rights and interests, China will not hesitate to take the necessary steps to robustly defend its own rights and interests.
