Summary
Beijing has criticized the new U.S. tariffs imposed on China and 59 other countries due to concerns over forced labor, warning against a potential trade war. The tariffs, ranging from 10 to 12.5 percent, impose the highest rate on China. The tariffs, introduced by the Trump administration, aim to enforce a forced labor import ban. Despite a previous truce between the United States and China, these measures risk reigniting trade tensions.
