China Criticizes U.S. Investigation of Shipbuilding Industry

China strongly opposes the U.S. investigation into its maritime, logistics, and shipbuilding industries, calling it a "mistake on top of a mistake" and urging the U.S. to respect multilateral rules. The U.S. Trade Representative initiated the probe, alleging unfair practices by China, while President Biden has called for tariff hikes on Chinese steel and aluminum imports. The investigation comes amid growing tensions over trade practices, with experts suggesting that it could lead to further retaliation between the two countries.
