Sheng Laiyun, deputy director of the National Bureau of Statistics, said at a press conference of the State Information Office held on April 16 that we firmly oppose the United States' tariff barriers and trade bullying. This practice harms others and is not good for oneself, violates economic laws and the principles of world trade, has a serious impact on the world economic order, and drags down the world economic recovery. China's resolute adoption of a series of countermeasures is not only a need to safeguard its own development interests, but also a legitimate move to safeguard the world's multilateral trading system and WTO rules. In the short term, the imposition of high tariffs by the United States will bring certain pressure on my country's economy and foreign trade, but it will not change the general trend of China's economy continuing to improve in the long term. China has a stable economic foundation, many advantages, strong resilience and great potential. We have the confidence, confidence and ability to deal with external challenges and achieve the established development goals. (Reporters Wang Yuxiao and Pan Jie)
