China Vows To Stand Against Trump’s Tariff Threat

China's Commerce Ministry said the country's stance is consistent, they do not want a tariff, but they are not afraid of one.

China signaled that it is not going to back down amid Trump’s 100% tariff threat.

Trump has threatened to jack up the tax on imports from China by Nov. 1 in response to new Chinese restrictions on the export of rare Earths, which are vital to a wide range of consumer and military products.

China’s Commerce Ministry said the country’s stance is consistent, they do not want a tariff, but they are not afraid of one. China is urging the U.S. to resolve differences through negotiations instead of threats.

Trump responded by taking a less confrontational approach without retreating from his demands, while vice president JD Vance seemed to warn Beijing not to react aggressively. China’s remarks were the country’s first official comment on Trump’s recent tariff threat.
