The Ministry of Commerce also noted that the U.S. is preparing to take alternative measures such as trade investigations to maintain the tariffs on trading partners, and China will closely monitor and firmly defend its interests. The specific Q&A transcript is as follows: Question: On February 20th, Eastern Time, the U.S. Supreme Court announced the ruling on the tariff litigation case, determining that the U.S. government's imposition of retaliatory tariffs, fentanyl tariffs, and other related tariffs on trading partners under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act was illegal. What is the Ministry of Commerce's assessment of this? We have taken note of the U.S. Supreme Court's announcement of the ruling on the tariff litigation case and are conducting a comprehensive assessment of the relevant content and impact. China has always opposed all forms of unilateral tariff measures, reiterated that there are no winners in a trade war, and that protectionism leads nowhere. The U.S. retaliatory tariffs, fentanyl tariffs, and other unilateral measures violate both international trade rules and U.S. domestic law, and are not in the interest of any party. It has been proven repeatedly that cooperation between China and the U.S. is mutually beneficial, while confrontation is mutually harmful. China urges the U.S. to cancel the relevant unilateral tariff measures imposed on trading partners. We have also taken note of the U.S. preparing to conduct trade investigations.
