China opposes US tariff hike on Chinese goods; US Trade Representative Katherine Tai recommends higher tariffs and expanded enforcement.

China opposes the US's tariff hike on Chinese goods, vowing to protect its own rights and interests. The US Trade Representative, Katherine Tai, has recommended higher tariffs on Chinese goods and called for expanded enforcement to address China's technology transfer actions that harm US workers and manufacturers. Tai said that research showed previous tariffs had minimal impact on the US economy, but were effective in reducing US imports of Chinese goods and increasing imports from other countries.
