(W.E. Talk) China's countermeasures against U.S. tariffs lawful, justified and proportionate: scholar

By Zhang Dongfang

(ECNS) -- The U.S. government has tried to bully China through raise "reciprocal tariffs" on Chinese exports, while China has responded to it with prompt countermeasures.

In the latest W.E. Talk, Wan Zhe, an economic expert, professor at Beijing Normal University and secretary-general of the Pangoal Institution academic committee, said that China's move is lawful, justified and proportionate.

In her opinion, China will continue to take proactive measures, further expand its openness, and advance multilateral cooperation with ASEAN, the EU, and Latin American countries to expand its friend circle. This approach, she noted, serves as an effective way for China to counter the economically ill-conceived tariff war initiated by the U.S.
