About this episode
The United States has been playing a meaningless tariff game and China will ignore it, a Chinese commerce ministry spokesperson said on Wednesday.
商务部发言人在周三表示,美方一直在进行一场毫无意义的关税游戏,中方对此将不予理睬。
When replying to a question about the United States' 245 percent tariff on certain products from China, the spokesperson said the United States has instrumentalized and weaponized tariffs to an irrational level.
商务部发言人就美方对中国部分产品加征245%关税的提问作出回应,明确指出美方此举已使关税沦为非理性化的工具和武器。
China has repeatedly clarified its stance on U.S. "reciprocal tariffs," and will ignore this meaningless game of tariffs, the spokesperson noted. However, should the United States persist in substantially undermining China's interests, China will take firm countermeasures and fight to the end.
发言人强调,中方已多次就美方所谓"对等关税"阐明立场,并将继续无视这种无实质意义的关税博弈。但若美方执意严重损害中方利益,中方必将采取坚决反制措施,斗争到底。
