In response to U.S. decision on imposing an additional tariff of 10% on Chinese goods worth about RMB300 billion, an official from Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council commented on 15 August that this action taken by the U.S. seriously violates the consensuses made by two presidents in Argentina and Osaka and deviates from the right track of solving disputes by negotiation. Thus, China has to take necessary countermeasures.
U.S. President Trump said on 1 August that the U.S. will impose an additional tariff of 10% on Chinese goods worth USD300 billion and accused China of failing to fulfill the promise of purchasing more U.S. agricultural products.
On the evening of 13 August, Liu He, member of CPC Central Committee Political Bureau, Vice Premier and chief representative of Sino-U.S. comprehensive economic dialogue, talked with U.S. trade representative and Treasury Secretary over phone, during which Liu He made solemn representations to U.S. additional tariffs on Chinese goods staring on 1 September and the two parties agreed to talk over phone again in the coming two weeks. Commerce Minister Zhong Shan, PBC President Yi Gang and NDRC Deputy Director Ning Jizhe joined the phone call.
On the same day, U.S. trade representative office announced that the Trump Administration will postpone the additional tariff of 10% on some Chinese goods, including laptop and mobile phone, which was originally planned to take effect from next month.
