Beijing to Washington: ‘Cancel’ Section 301 Tariffs ‘as Early as Possible'

The U.S. “tariff war” on China does "nobody" any good, and “it’s time for the U.S. administration to reconsider and to cancel it as early as possible,” said a Chinese Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesperson Wednesday when asked at his regular news conference to comment on President Joe Biden’s remarks that the White House was “discussing” the Section 301 tariffs on Chinese imports in the context of curbing inflation. “We're looking at what would have the most positive impact,” Biden told reporters Tuesday. “No decision has been made on it.” “Tariffs imposed unilaterally by the U.S. on China are not in the interest of China, the U.S. or the whole world,” said the spokesperson.
