The US trade war against China is unjustified and unfair, Chinese ambassador to the United States Cui Tiankai said in a signed article published in the American newspaper "USA Today" on Wednesday.
Ambassador Cui said the US administration’s plan to impose tariffs on Chinese products is unjustified and will not be effective.
The US government's main criticism of its trade relationship with China is its trade deficits. Ambassador Cui explains in his article that China has never deliberately sought a trade surplus, adding that the trade flow is determined by market forces.
The diplomat went on to say that trade with China has given US families greater access to products of higher quality but lower cost, lowering the prices in the United States by up to 1.5 percent and saving an average of 850 dollars per household in 2015 alone.
Another common target for US concern is the intellectual property rights (IPR). Cui wrote that these criticisms are neither fair nor objective. China has codified a robust legal mechanism for IPR protection and, since its joining the World Trade Organization, China has paid intellectual property royalties to foreign rights-holders at an annual average of 17 percent to reach 28.6 billion US dollars in 2017, with a quarter of every dollar going to the United States.
On another accusation against China, the alleged policy "forced technology transfer", the ambassador said the Chinese government has never made such a demand of foreign companies, and that many overseas firms have reaped huge profits from joint ventures in China over these years.
In the article, Cui made it clear that China and the United States have a commitment of avoiding the kind of trade conflict that has manifested itself in recent weeks, adding that the United States has forced China to take countermeasures.
Cui reiterated that there is no winner in a trade war, and that Washington has been misguided in its motives.
