China says it opposes latest US tariff threat

BEIJING, Feb 28 (Reuters) - China's commerce ministry said on Friday that it opposed U.S. President Donald Trump's latest threat to impose tariffs on Chinese goods and vowed to retaliate if Chinese entities got caught up in the levies.

In a statement, the commerce ministry accused the U.S. of "shifting the blame" on fentanyl flows into the United States and urged Washington to "return to the right track of properly resolving differences through dialogue on an equal footing as soon as possible."
