The us has threatened to impose tariffs on China's remaining 267bn imports.Gao pointed out that China always hopes to safeguard the overall interest of china-us economic and trade cooperation and is unwilling to fight a trade war.But the United States instigated and escalated trade frictions.To safeguard its own interests, the multilateral trading system and the global free trade order, China has to make countermeasures. The measures are rational and restrained.
