The tariff regulations committee of the State Council of China on March 4 issued an official notice on imposing additional tariffs on some US-made imported goods from March 10. 

Taking issue with the fact that the US announced on March 3 that it would impose 10 percent additional tariffs again on all Chinese goods to be exported to it for an unjust reason, the official notice said that the unilateral measure of the US for additional tariffs will damage the many-sided trading system and increase the burden of US businesses and consumers.      

It emphasized that China would impose corresponding additional tariffs on US-made imported goods respectively on the basis of the existing tariff rate. 

That day, the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China criticized the unilateral act of the US at a press conference, adding that the corresponding measure of China is a just and necessary one to defend its rights and interests.
