China will "take all necessary measures" to resolutely protect its legitimate rights and interests that might be hampered by the possible US initiation of a Section 301 investigation into the country, the Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday.
US news media, quoting unnamed White House sources, reported that US President Donald Trump was expected to announce tariffs on Thursday of up to $60 billion a year on China to punish it for alleged intellectual property policies and practices.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry said the two countries have remained in close communication on trade issues at various levels.
