On April 16, Sheng Laiyun, deputy director of the National Bureau of Statistics, said at a press conference of the State Council Information Office that we firmly oppose the United States' tariff barriers and trade bullying, which are harmful to others and not self-interest. In the short term, the imposition of high tariffs by the United States will bring certain pressure on trade and the economy, but it will not change the general trend of China's long-term economic improvement. China's economy has a stable foundation and strong resilience. We have the confidence, ability and confidence to cope with external challenges and achieve economic development goals.
