The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answered the reporter's question on the final measures announced by the United States in the fields of maritime, logistics and shipbuilding

On April 18th, the Office of the United States Trade Representative announced the final measures for the Section 301 investigation in China's maritime, logistics and shipbuilding fields. What is the response of the Ministry of Commerce? The US measures fully expose the essence of its unilateralist and protectionist policies. They are typical non-market practices with obvious discriminatory colors, seriously damage the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises, seriously disrupt the stability of the global production and supply chain, seriously violate WTO rules, and seriously undermine the rules-based multilateral trading system and international economic and trade order. < b > China urges the US to respect facts and multilateral economic and trade rules, abide by the principles of market economy and fair competition, stop "throwing the blame", and correct its wrong practices as soon as possible. China will closely follow the relevant developments of the US side and will resolutely take necessary measures to safeguard its own rights and interests.
