China has responded to U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs, stating that the rejection by the market indicates a need for fair discussions with Washington. Various Chinese commerce associations have expressed similar sentiments, suggesting the exploration of alternative markets and cautioning against the negative impact of the tariffs on U.S. inflation. Trump imposed increased tariffs on Chinese goods, leading to retaliatory measures from China, including additional levies and export restrictions. This trade escalation has caused global stock markets to plummet, with both sides urging for equal consultations to resolve differences. China's industry associations are encouraging unity and cooperation to mitigate the effects of the tariffs on various sectors.
