This time, China's official response was relatively restrained. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that it still hopes to strive for a mutually beneficial and win -win agreement on the basis of mutual respect.

As for the specific countermeasures that China may take, Shi Yinhong believes that, like China ’s last retaliatory tariffs, the United States exports to China is far less than China exported to the United States.Revenge, at most it is concentrated in American agricultural products, because it is one of Trump's main voters.
