Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) John Lee Ka-chiu said on Tuesday that the United States' abuse of tariffs is a barbaric act of bullying, and the HKSAR government will address the challenge from seven aspects.

Lee told the press before the Executive Council meeting on Tuesday that these measures include:

First, seize the opportunities of national development and integrate into the overall national development;

Second, strengthen international exchanges and cooperation and actively deepen regional cooperation;

Third, accelerate industrial upgrading and transformation and develop a high-value-added innovation-driven economic model;

Fourth, promote the development of scientific and technological innovation;

Fifth, vigorously promote international financial cooperation;

Sixth, follow the general trend of risk diversification across different countries and attract enterprises and funds to Hong Kong;

Seventh, continue to provide support to the industry and help the industry cope with challenges.

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order last Wednesday imposing a 10-percent "minimum baseline tariff" on all imports, with elevated rates for specific countries. He added a 34 percent tariff on imports from China, which is set to take effect on April 9.

As a countermeasure, China announced an additional 34-percent tariff on all products imported from the United States starting from April 10.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday issued another threat against China, demanding China drop its countermeasures, or else face a new round of tariff hikes.
