The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responds to US threat of imposing 100% tariff on imports.

At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on January 26th, a reporter asked that the US Treasury Secretary stated that if Canada reaches a new trade agreement with China, the US will impose 100% tariffs on Canadian imports. Previously, US President Trump also issued a similar warning. What is the Foreign Ministry's comment on this? In response, spokesperson Guo Jiajun stated that China advocates that all countries should handle their relations with each other in a cooperative rather than confrontational manner, based on a concept of win-win rather than pandering. The establishment of a new strategic partnership between China and Canada involves specific arrangements for addressing economic and trade issues between the two countries, reflecting the spirit of equality, openness, tolerance, peace, cooperation, and shared benefits, without targeting any third party. This is in line with the common interests of the two countries' peoples and is also beneficial to world peace, stability, development, and prosperity. (Global Times)
