China Urges U.S. to Halt 232 Tariffs on Imports

According to BlockBeats, the Ministry of Commerce held a routine press conference on May 15. The spokesperson, He Yongqian, addressed the U.S. actions regarding the 232 tariffs on imported automobiles, steel, aluminum, and the investigation into imported pharmaceuticals. China views these measures as unilateral and protectionist, arguing that they harm other countries' interests and undermine the rule-based multilateral trade system, while also being detrimental to the U.S. domestic industry. China calls on the U.S. to promptly cease the 232 tariff measures and resolve concerns through equitable dialogue.
