China has consistently opposed all forms of unilateral tariff measures, and urged the United States to revoke its existing unilateral tariffs and refrain from imposing additional ones, the Ministry of Commerce said on Tuesday.

A ministry spokesperson made the remarks in response to a media inquiry on recent U.S. tariff moves. On Tuesday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection suspended the collection of additional duties under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Meanwhile, it began levying an import surcharge on all trading partners under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974.

China is monitoring the situation closely and will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the measures taken by the United States, the ministry said.

Any adjustments to China's countermeasures, including those related to U.S.-imposed fentanyl tariffs or reciprocal duties, will be made in a timely manner in light of any developments, the spokesperson said. "China reserves the right to take all necessary steps to firmly safeguard its legitimate rights and interests."

Experience has repeatedly shown that cooperation between China and the United States benefits both countries, while confrontation harms both, and China stands ready to hold candid consultations with the U.S. side during the upcoming round of China-U.S. economic and trade consultations, the ministry said.

The spokesperson expressed China's hope that the U.S. will work with it to uphold the consensus that their two heads of state reached both at their 2025 meeting in Busan and during their recent phone talks on Feb. 4. It was also noted that the two countries should address each other's concerns on the basis of mutual respect and equal consultation, manage their differences properly, and maintain the sound, stable, and sustainable development of China-U.S. economic and trade relations.

　商務部の報道官は24日、米国の最近の関税調整措置について「米国は2025年2月初めと4月初め、中国製品に対する10％のいわゆるフェンタニル関税と34％の『相互関税』を相次いで打ち出したが、うち24％の『相互関税』は一時停止しており、中国に対する実際の関税追加水準は20％である」と表明した。

　同報道官はまた「米国連邦最高裁判所の関税をめぐる訴訟での判決や米政府の関連行政命令、公告などにより、米国はこれらの関税徴収を停止したが、新たに122条に基づいて10％の輸入課徴金を課しており、複数の場で301条（1974年通商法301条）、232条（1962年通商拡大法232条）などの調査に基づいて関税を課す方針を示している。中国は米国のこれらの措置を注視し、包括的な評価を行った上で、今後は状況に応じて適時、米国に対する対抗措置を講じていく」と指摘した。

　さらに「中国はさまざまな形の一方的な関税措置に一貫して反対しており、米国にはこれらの一方的関税を撤廃するとともに、これ以上の一方的関税を課さないよう求めている。これまでの経験が繰り返し証明しているように、中米は協力すれば双方に利益をもたらし、対抗すれば共に傷つく。中国は間もなく米国との第6回中米経済・貿易協議メカニズムで率直な協議を行いたい。米国が中国と同じ方向に向かって歩み、相互尊重と平等な協議の下で、それぞれの懸念事項を解決し、意見の相違を適切に管理・コントロールし、中米経済・貿易関係の健全で安定した持続可能な発展を共に守るよう」呼びかけた。
