US should consider tariff impact on its economy

Cui Fan, a member of the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission, said the US accusation against China of taking advantage of foreign trade is a false proposition, as China has no obvious trade imbalance.

"The proportion of foreign trade in GDP remains at a normal level. As the country keeps opening up its market, it is possible for the proportion to drop in the future, and a trade deficit may even occur," Cui said.

Instead of slapping tariffs on each other, the trade dispute will only be resolved by negotiations, and this is just a matter of time, Cui said.
