CCTV News: On April 2, 2025, Eastern Time, the US government announced that it would impose so-called "reciprocal tariffs" on all trading partners, including China. Most medical consumables, dressings, medical equipment and its parts, rehabilitation supplies and other products are affected, especially some products, combined with the unreasonable tax increase measures of the US government, and the tariffs have reached an extremely high level.
The unilateral trade measures of the US government ignore WTO rules, which will not only seriously affect the production and operation of global pharmaceutical industry enterprises, including China, but will also seriously affect the stability of global pharmaceutical industry research and development, production and industrial chain and supply chain, damage the health and well-being of people from all countries around the world, especially seriously affecting the medical security of related middle- and low-income groups.
The value of life is supreme. The China Medical and Health Products Import and Export Chamber of Commerce believes that the health rights and interests of people around the world should not be violated by unfair trade measures and firmly oppose the unilateral trade bullying adopted by the United States. We firmly support the countermeasures taken by the Chinese government, and will work with the pharmaceutical industries of all countries around the world to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of pharmaceutical companies around the world and jointly promote the healthy development of this important livelihood industry.
