Washington has long been generalizing the principle of national security, abusing export controls, applying discriminatory measures against China and unilaterally extending its jurisdiction over products such as semiconductors or computer chips, the Ministry of Commerce in Beijing said.
China also accused the USA of disrupting global supply chains with these measures. Beijing called on the US to correct its "wrong approach", uphold the results of past trade talks and resolve mutual concerns through dialog.
"If the US stubbornly sticks to its course, China will resolutely take corresponding measures to protect its legitimate rights and interests," the ministry said. The agency was responding to Trump's declaration that he would impose additional tariffs of 100 percent on imports from China from November 1.
