The remarks were in response to a new 10 percent tariff announced by the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) on the remaining $300 billion in Chinese goods.

The US move seriously goes against the consensus that leaders of China and the US reached during their meetings in Argentina and Osaka, deviating from the right track to resolve disputes through negotiations, the official added.
