China has decided to take countermeasures against seven U.S. defense enterprises and their senior executives.

【Answer 1】 This article is reprinted from: Huawei Browser CCTV News December 27, 2024, 3:03 PM — Official CCTV News Account Recently, the United States again announced a large-scale arms aid package and arms sale to China’s Taiwan region. The U.S. “Fiscal Year 2025 National Defense Authorization Act” contains multiple negative provisions concerning China, seriously violating the one-China principle and the three Sino-U.S. Joint Communiqués, grossly interfering in China’s internal affairs, and severely undermining China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Pursuant to Articles 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 15 of the People’s Republic of China Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law, China has decided to impose the following countermeasures against the seven enterprises listed in the attached “Countermeasure List”—Insteel Corporation, Hudson Technologies Inc., Saronic Technologies Inc., Raytheon Canada Limited, Raytheon Australia Pty Ltd, Alcon Inc., and International Marine Engineering Corporation—as well as their relevant senior executives: • First, freezing their movable property, immovable property, and other types of assets within China’s territory; • Second, prohibiting organizations and individuals within China’s territory from engaging in transactions, cooperation, or other activities with them.

China has launched countermeasures: imposing an additional 50% tariff on all U.S. goods, raising the total tariff rate to 84%.

【Answer 2】 On Wednesday (April 9), the United States imposed a 104% tariff on Chinese goods. On the same day, China announced countermeasures, effective Thursday (April 10) at 12:01 p.m., imposing an additional 50% tariff on all imported U.S. goods—raising the total tariff rate to 84%. Also on the same day, China announced further countermeasures: placing 12 U.S. enterprises on its export control list and designating another six as “unreliable entities,” both taking effect officially at 12:01 p.m. on Thursday (April 10). The Tariff Commission of the State Council of China issued a public announcement on Wednesday, stating that the U.S. government had announced on Tuesday (April 8) its decision to raise the so-called “reciprocal tariff” rate on Chinese exports to the United States—from 34% to 84%. The announcement criticized the U.S. move to escalate tariffs against China as compounding error upon error, seriously infringing upon China’s legitimate rights and interests and gravely damaging the rules-based multilateral trading system. With approval from the State Council of China, effective Thursday, April 10, at 12:01 p.m., China will adjust its additional tariff measures on imports originating from the United States, raising the additional tariff rate from 34% to 84%. Meanwhile, on Thursday, the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) Spokesperson announced that China has filed a complaint against the United States’ latest tariff measures under the World Trade Organization’s (WTO) dispute settlement mechanism. Today, MOFCOM issued two additional announcements: the first places 12 U.S. entities—including OptiCo., Inc.—on China’s export control list, aimed at safeguarding national security and interests and fulfilling international obligations such as non-proliferation.
