NEW YORK, July 30 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Indian goods exported to the United States will be subject to a 25 percent tariff starting Aug. 1, the American leader said in a post on the Truth Social social network.

According to D. Trump, although India is “our friend,” the United States does “relatively little business with it because their tariffs are too high.” The American president added that India has “the most onerous and obnoxious non-monetary trade barriers of any country.”

The head of the White House also noted that India “has always purchased the vast majority of military equipment from Russia and is the largest buyer of Russian energy resources.”

Therefore, he announced, starting from August 1, India will pay 25 percent customs duties and “a penalty for the above.”

U.S. Trade Representative Jamison Greer told CNBC on July 28 that the United States needs more time to negotiate with India to assess the country's readiness to open its market more to American goods.

Any tariff rate of 20 percent or more would be a disappointment to India, which had sought better terms than the 19 percent Trump offered Indonesia and the Philippines, Bloomberg reported Tuesday. –0–

BEIJING, July 30 (Xinhua) — Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Zhang Xiaogang on Wednesday called on relevant countries to exercise utmost caution when handling Taiwan-related issues.

Zhang Xiaogang made the statement in response to recent reports that the United States did not allow Taiwanese leader Lai Qingde to make a planned “transit stop” in New York during his trip to Latin America.

Zhang Xiaogang stressed that China firmly opposes any form of official interaction between any country and the Chinese region of Taiwan.

"We urge the United States to strictly abide by the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiques, handle Taiwan-related issues with the utmost caution, and make joint efforts to promote the stable, healthy and sustainable development of China-US relations," the spokesman said.

Commenting on reports that the US sent several active and retired military personnel as observers to the so-called Hanguang 41 exercises in Taiwan, Zhang Xiaogang stressed that the Taiwan issue is an exclusively internal affair of China that does not allow any external interference.

He noted that China is firmly opposed to any form of collusion between the United States and Taiwan in the military sphere.

The spokesman also warned Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party administration that any attempt to secure American support for its push for "Taiwan independence" and resist Chinese reunification by force was doomed to failure. -0-

BEIJING, July 30 (Xinhua) — China is deeply concerned about the humanitarian catastrophe facing the people of the Gaza Strip and calls on all parties involved, especially Israel, to immediately stop military operations in Gaza and prevent a humanitarian crisis of an even greater scale, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said on Wednesday.

The humanitarian situation in the Palestinian enclave is reportedly a major concern for the international community. French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer have raised the possibility of recognizing a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly. Meanwhile, Israel's security cabinet is still considering the option of a full military occupation of the Gaza Strip and a blockade of cities where the Palestinian Hamas movement operates.

Answering a question on the matter at a press briefing, Guo Jiakun said China is closely monitoring the current situation in the enclave and opposes Israel's further escalation of military action in the region.

"We are deeply concerned about the humanitarian catastrophe facing the people of the Gaza Strip. It has been 21 months since the new round of conflict began, and the humanitarian situation in Gaza has never been so dire," the Chinese diplomat said.

He cited a recent World Health Organization statement that of the 74 malnutrition deaths in Gaza since the start of the year, 63 occurred this month, including 25 children, in the latest evidence of a humanitarian catastrophe in the Palestinian enclave.

“We call on the parties concerned, especially Israel, to immediately cease military action in Gaza, lift the blockade and siege of the enclave, fully restore humanitarian access there and prevent a wider humanitarian crisis,” the official representative stressed.

Noting that the Palestinian issue remains a key issue in the Middle East, Guo Jiakun stated that a solution based on the principle of “two states for two peoples” is the only way out and China firmly supports the Palestinian people in establishing an independent State of Palestine.

"China is willing to continue to cooperate with the international community to end the fighting in Gaza as soon as possible, ease the humanitarian crisis, realize the two-state solution, and achieve a comprehensive, fair and lasting settlement of the Palestinian issue," the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman concluded. –0–
