BEIJING, Dec. 24 (Xinhua) -- China is firmly opposed to the U.S. arbitrary levy of tariffs to hold back Chinese industries groundlessly, a foreign ministry spokesperson said on Wednesday at a regular press briefing.

Spokesperson Lin Jian made the remarks after the U.S. side announced its intended imposition of tariffs on China's semiconductor industry, which will take effect in 2027.
