'Pressure, threats, blackmail are not right way': China responds to Trump's 125 per cent tariff

China on Thursday responded to US President Donald Trump's decision to raise the duties on Beijing to 125 per cent and exclude it from the 90-day tariff pause mechanism, as it said it does not seek confrontation. In a statement, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce's spokesperson said that China's position is clear, adding, "If the US wants to talk, our door remains open, but dialogue must be conducted on the basis of mutual respect and equality."
