The Global Trade War China Condemns US 'Tariff Shocks' at WTO

As the world grapples with the consequences of unprecedented trade tensions, China has taken a strong stance against the United States at the World Trade Organization (WTO). In a forthright address to the WTO's General Council meeting, China's ambassador Li Chenggang condemned the US for imposing tariff shocks that threaten to trigger inflation, market distortions, and even a global recession.

The Impacts of 'Tariff Shocks'

In recent months, US President Donald Trump has implemented a series of tariffs aimed at countries with high trade surpluses, including China. The tariffs, which have been imposed or threatened, range from 10% to 25%. This sudden and drastic shift in trade policy has sent shockwaves around the globe, disrupting global trade and risking domestic inflation.

China's Response

In a robust rebuke, Li Chenggang, China's ambassador to the WTO, expressed his country's displeasure at the US's actions. The world faces a series of tariff shocks, he warned. The US has imposed or threatened tariffs on its trading partners, including China, unilaterally and arbitrarily, blatantly violating WTO rules. He emphasized that these tariffs heighten economic uncertainty, disrupt global trade, and risk domestic inflation, market distortion, or even global recession.

Threats to the Multilateral Trading System

Li also stressed the importance of a rules-based multilateral trading system. US unilateralism threatens to upend the rules-based multilateral trading system, he warned. He urged Washington to withdraw its tariffs and engage in multilateral dialogues based on equity, mutual benefit, and mutual respect.

A Geneva-Based Trade Official Weighs In

In a separate interview with a Geneva-based trade official, it became clear that the US is concerned about China's non-market economic system and habitual breach of WTO rules. The US highlighted the issues stemming from China's lack of transparency and its disregard for WTO oversight, the official said.

'Cool Heads' Needed

WTO director-general Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala echoed Li's sentiments, urging the 166 member states to keep cool heads and continue talking to one another. She emphasized that the world has changed, and it is time to press on with long-sought reforms to the WTO.

What's Next?

As the General Council meeting continues on Wednesday, the stakes are high, and the global economy is at risk of significant disruption. One thing is certain cooler heads will need to prevail if a resolution is to be reached.
