China is the world's dominant steel producer, but experts said the impact of Trump's decision to slap 25 percent tariffs on steel imports, and 10 percent on aluminum, won't have a big impact on China since it only accountJ for 2 percent of U.S. imports. The government in Beijing is not about to start a trade war over the tariffs, they added. I I "What an extremely stupia move," said Li Xinchuang, vice secretary general of the China Iron and ~tee! Association. "A desperate attempt by Trump to pander to his voters, which I think in fact runs counter to his 'America First' pledge. The U.S. is now setting a very, very bad example." Li, who is also director of the China Metallurgical Industry Planning and Research Institute, said tlie decision would only make U.S. industries fall further behind globally, at a time when "China is in its prime." Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told a regular news conference Friday that global trade would be harmed if otber countries follow the example of the United States. "In recent years, the global economy has still recovered slowly and the basis for the global recove1 is still unstable," she sa.id. "All countries should make concerted efforts to cooperate to resolve the relevant issues, instead of taking trade restrictive measures unilaterally:..

PM ' R=i,ed by NSD/FARA Rogi.,..tioo Unit 03105/2018 UBI PM I nd European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said in a statement that the bloc "w,11 r~~~'!lrri'.Y~·.&,'{jl• um commensurately to defend our interests." Cecilia Malmstriim, the bloc's commissionerfor trade, added that "These U.S. measures will have a negative impact on transatlantic relations and on global markets. In addition, they will raise costs and reduce choice for U.S. consumers of steel and aluminum, including industries that import these commodities." The risk of global trade frictions unsettled markets. Asian stocks followed the_i_r U.S. counterparts lo er on Friday, with Japan's Nikkei-225 index down 2.5 percent, and South Korea's KOSPI index 1 percent lower, and stef1makers1 in both· countries were among the hardest hit. ! Bilt Shanghai's main share index fell a more modest o.6 percent. ' "Asia has been the main beneficiary of the production networks and globalization of recent times so it' is unavoidably I sensitive to trade friction," said Richard Jerram, chief economist at the Bank of Si_ngapore. "Ta.riffs on steel and aluminum are not. the end of the world, but the risk is escalation. How aggressively China reacts and America's [le.spouse to that will worry the markets." Wei Jianguo, a former Chinese vice commerce minister, said Trump's announcement ran counter to orld Trade Organization rules and hurt Sino-U.S. relations. "China will actively protect its own trade interests," he said, pointing out that China imports a huge mount of U.S. goods, including Boeing planes, agricultural products and IT products. But most analysts said the move was mote of a_n irritant to China than anything serious at this stage. A glut of steel from China has fueled global oversupply, but Lu Zhengwei, chief economist at Indust~al Bank in Shanghai, said China had already beenwotk:ing to cut overcapacity in its steel industry. Anti-dumping duties imposed by the Obama administration on China two years ago had also helped cut U.S. imports from China and protect a restructured U.S. steel industry based around wini-miJ]s, experts said. Last year', China's steel exports fell 30 percent, and Lu said Trump's move came too late to make much of a difference. Nevertheless, China is also not insensitive to the symbolism of the move, is aware that Trump's rhet9ric has targeted China and is wary of further measures torestrict trade and investment, experts said. ' "China has to respond and fight for every inch of its own interests; otherwise it will find it hard to handle more trade adjustments from the U.S. side," Lu said. "Of course, China is able to take revenge, however the result we are expecting is This material is distributed by Capitol Counsel LLC o_n beha_l_f of U_.S.·Ch(na Transpacific.
