> China has opposed a US plan under consideration to add a 7.5% tariff on imports from China, calling it unilateralism and protectionism. Commerce Ministry spokesperson Huang Ling said Washington’s Section 301 investigations into 16 economies over alleged “overcapacity” politicize trade and economic issues. China will assess further US steps and reserves the right to take necessary measures.
