According to previous media reports, during Trump's administration, the "301 Clause" (commonly known as Article 301 of the US Trade Law of 1974) was invoked in the name of "national security" to impose tariffs on Chinese imports. Under the Trump administration, more than 2200 goods were exempted from tariffs, of which 549 products were extended for one year, but all exemptions expired at the end of 2020.
In October 2021, the Office of the United States Trade Representative announced that it intends to re-exempt 549 Chinese imports from tariffs and consult the public on this. Nearly half a year later, the Office of the United States Trade Representative issued a statement on March 23 last year confirming 352 of the 549 Chinese imports that had previously been re-exempted from tariffs. This tariff exemption period has been extended several times to this day.
In March 2022, the Ministry of Commerce spokesperson Shu Jueting said at the press conference that China has noticed that on March 23, the U.S. Trade Representative Office announced that it will resume exemptions for 352 items of imported goods from China. Products of normal trade.
China has always believed that the unilateral tariff measures imposed by the United States are not conducive to China, the United States and the world. In the current situation where inflation continues to rise and the global economic recovery is facing challenges, it is hoped that the United States will proceed from the fundamental interests of consumers and producers of China and the United States, cancel all tariffs on China as soon as possible, and promote bilateral economic and trade relations to return to normal as soon as possible..
