The Chinese government said that the American decision to exempt certain consumer electronics from the so -called mutual rates is a small step to correct his misconduct and encouraged Washington to do more to withdraw the taxes.
President Donald Trump’s administration has excluded smartphones, computers and other electronics from the increased import duties on Friday, so that the scope of his 125% rates on goods from China and a baseline 10% of imports from most other countries was reduced.
“This is a small step of the US to correct his unlawful action by Unilateral ‘Mutual Rates’,” the Ministry of Trade said in a statement on its official WeChat account on Sunday. The Ministry also insisted on tracing the US “to take a big step in the complete abolition of unlawful action and returns to the right path of resolving differences via an equal dialog box based on mutual respect.”
The last exemptions from Trump cover nearly $ 390 billion in the US import on the basis of official trading statistics of the US 2024, including more than $ 101 billion from China, collected by Gerard Dipippo, associated director of the Rand China Research Center.
Trump refused on Saturday to work out the exemptions after the published Memoranda, but hinted on further developments on Monday.
“I will give you that answer on Monday. We will be very specific on Monday,” he told reporters at Air Force One. “We withdraw a lot of money; as a country we take a lot of money.”
The White House has also released a corresponding memo that indicates that the exemptions also extend to changes in small shipping tasks. Trump had moved to end the so -called “the minimis” exemption, starting with China, which generally means plots worth $ 800 or lower means that they have no tasks.
The rate removal can prove to be fleeting. The exclusions arise from the initial order, so that additional rates on certain sectors are cumulatively stacked on top of the land -wide rates. The exclusion is a sign that the products can soon be subjected to a different rate, although almost certainly a lower one for China.
The products that are not subject to Trump’s new rates include machines used to make semiconductors. That would be important for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., which has announced a large new investment in the US, as well as other chip makers.
“All products that are well classified in these stated provisions will be excluded from the mutual rates,” said the notification.
The move seemed to exclude the products from the 10% Global Baseline rate in other countries, including the house of Samsung Electronics Co.
The tariff reference does not extend to a separate Trump tax on China – a 20% obligation that is applied to pressure Beijing to combat it on Fentanyl, including the shipment of precursor materials. Other existing levies, including those who date from Trump’s current term, also seem unaffected.
