China calls US tariff exemptions on electronics a "small step" in correcting a misguided policy

From CNN’s Hassan Tayir and Anna Cooban

China says the United States’ decision to exempt smartphones and other electronic goods from President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs is a “small step” in correcting a misguided policy.

A spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Commerce told reporters in Beijing today that the exemption represents a “small step (by) the US to correct its unilateral ‘reciprocal tariff’ erroneous practice.”

Since Trump announced his round of reciprocal tariffs on the US’ trading partners on April 2, the spokesperson said, the policy “has not only failed to solve any problems of the US itself, but has seriously undermined the international economic and trade order,” going on to call for the US to ‘“completely cancel” the tariffs.
