Dr. John Gong, a professor at the University of International Business and Economics, spoke with CGTN Digital about what China's 3-billion-US-dollar payback means to the US.
Gong said the increase is aimed at tariffs on US imports that which consist mostly of agricultural products and is actually a response to the "Section 232 investigation" based on the security argument. For the "
301 survey,” we still have to wait and see the White House's published list of Chinese's target products.
In Gong's opinion, China's countermeasures have sent a very strong signal to the US side that China is sure to respond to any challenge posed by the US' punitive tariffs.
