The spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce answers questions from reporters regarding the US request for related parties to impose tariffs on Chinese imports of Russian oil.

According to the Wisdom Financial News APP, on September 15th, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answered questions from reporters about the US request for related parties to impose tariffs on China on the grounds of importing Russian oil. The Ministry of Commerce stated that China has always opposed taking trade and economic restriction measures against China under the pretext of "Russian involvement". The US intention this time to coerce related parties to impose "secondary tariffs" on China on the grounds of purchasing Russian oil is a typical act of unilateral bullying and economic coercion, which seriously violates the consensus reached in the phone call between the leaders of China and the US and may have a serious impact on global trade and supply chain stability. China firmly opposes this. If any party harms China's interests, China will take all necessary measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.
