China Slams US Over “Double Standards”
China accused the United States of “double standards” after President Donald Trump unveiled a new 100 percent tariff targeting Chinese goods.
"The relevant US statement is a typical example of 'double standards',"
an unnamed Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesperson said. President Trump announced the additional tariffs in response to China’s new export restrictions on rare-earth minerals.
- Tariffs set to begin on 1 November
