April 15, Kathmandu – China has warned that it will take retaliatory measures if the United States raises tariffs on Chinese products. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian responded on social media platform X on Wednesday, also denying that China has provided military support to Iran. Recent international media reports had claimed that China was supplying military aid to Iran. These reports were refuted by Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian.
“Media reports accusing China of providing military assistance to Iran are completely false,” Lin wrote on X. Prior to these reports, US President Donald Trump had warned that if China supplied military aid to Iran, the US would impose a 50 percent tariff on Chinese imports. “If the US increases tariffs on China based on these accusations, China will take retaliatory action,” Lin added.
