BEIJING, March 7 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese commerce ministry spokesperson said on Friday that the U.S.'s decision to impose an additional 20-percent tariff on imports from China under the pretext of the fentanyl issue is groundless.

The spokesperson made the remarks in response to a related query.

"It is typical protectionism, unilateralism and bullying practice," the spokesperson said, citing a recently released white paper titled "Controlling Fentanyl-Related Substances -- China's Contribution."

China urged the United States to correct its wrongdoings, view and solve its own fentanyl issue in an objective and rational way, instead of scapegoating others, the spokesperson added. Enditem
