Beijing: China will never accept pressure and intimidation from the United States, and Beijing will take decisive measures to protect its legitimate rights and interests, Chinese Commerce Ministry spokeswoman He Yongqian said on Thursday.

According to Namibia Press Agency, if the United States insists on its own position, China will fight to the end. He Yongqian emphasized that China will never accept the strongest pressure and intimidation from the United States and will certainly take decisive and strong measures to protect its legitimate rights and interests.

The spokeswoman declined to comment on whether China would continue to raise duties on US goods if Washington raised duties on Chinese products to 125% or even 150%.
