Excerpt:
China’s government on Sunday denounced the Trump administration’s imposition of a long-threatened 10 per cent tariff on Chinese imports while leaving the door open for talks with the U.S. that could avoid a deepening conflict.
Beijing will challenge President Donald Trump’s tariff at the World Trade Organization — a symbolic gesture — and take unspecified “countermeasures” in response to the levy, which takes effect on Tuesday, China’s finance and commerce ministries said.
That response stopped short of the immediate escalation that had marked China’s trade showdown with Trump in his first term as president and repeated the more measured language Beijing has used in recent weeks.
