Some analysts said the impact from the new tariff hikes on China may be limited in the short run.

US President Joe Biden unveiled a bundle of steep tariff hikes on an array of Chinese imports in a bid to win over voters.

“US raising Section 301 tariffs violates President Biden’s commitment to ‘not seek to suppress and contain China’s development’ and ‘not to seek to decouple and break links with China’,” said a statement by the ministry, adding the move would “seriously affect the atmosphere of bilateral cooperation”.

“The US should immediately correct its wrongdoing and remove the additional tariffs imposed on China,” the Chinese Commerce Ministry urged in the statement.
