In response to the U.S. threatening to impose a 100% tariff on China under the pretext of "China's export controls on rare earths and other related items" and to implement export controls on all key software, the spokesperson stated: Threatening with high tariffs is not the correct way to engage with China. The Ministry of Commerce stated that China's position on the tariff war has been consistent; we do not wish to fight, but we are not afraid to fight. China urges the U.S. to promptly correct its erroneous practices, guided by the important consensus reached in the conversation between the two heads of state, to maintain the hard-won results of consultations, continue to utilize the China-U.S. economic and trade consultation mechanism, and resolve respective concerns through dialogue based on mutual respect and equal consultation, properly manage differences, and maintain stable, healthy, and sustainable development of China-U.S. economic and trade relations. If the U.S. insists on going its own way, China will also resolutely take corresponding measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests. In this regard, Minsheng Securities analysis believes that this time, combined with the restraint reflected in Trump's responses to reporters over the weekend and China's rational response, it still believes that the tone between the two sides has not changed and will not become a turning point for the market.
