China is making a “full assessment” of the U.S. Supreme Court’s tariff ruling and urged Washington to lift “relevant unilateral tariff measures” on its trading partners, the Chinese Commerce Ministry said in a statement on Monday (February 23, 2026).
“U.S. unilateral tariffs… violate international trade rules and U.S. domestic law, and are not in the interests of any party,” the Chinese ministry added.
The ministry said it noticed the U.S. planned to maintain tariffs on trading partners through alternative means including trade investigations. “China will continue to pay close attention to this and firmly safeguard its interests,” the Ministry said.
