HUA CHUNYING CHINESE FOREIGN MINISTRY SPOKESPERSON "The irrational overuse of trade remedy measures by the US is not only unhelpful for rejuvenation of its relevant industry but will harm the states' employment and interest of the US customers. In response to this erroneous action by the US, we will take necessary measures to safeguard our legitimate rights and interests."
