China says it opposes all forms of unilateral tariffs.
President Trump returned to office last year imposing levies on trade partners under an emergency law.
Those were struck down by the Supreme Court earlier this year.
Now the Trump administration is starting to rebuild the tariff wall by initiating trade investigations under different powers to impose new levies.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning says economic and trade issues should be resolved through dialogue and consultation.
That is in the works, according to China's Commerce Ministry.
It said during Trump's meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping last month, both sides agreed to discuss tariff reduction.

Secretary Hegseth told a room full of military, defense officials and diplomats that there is rightful alarm at what he called China's historic military buildup.
He was less clear on how to prevent an escalation and did not clarify the status of U.S.
arms sales to Taiwan and the Iran war, key issues affecting Asian allies.
Hegseth also touted better U.S.-China relations, coming off what he called a historic summit between President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing.

Well, his message, and he said it to a room full of military defense officials and diplomats, is for Asian allies to ramp up their defense spending to counter China.
Secretary Hegseth says there is rightful alarm at China's military buildup.
He was less clear, though, on how to prevent an escalation.
He only said Asian allies should not be, quote, freeloading off American taxpayers.
Overall, this is a more toned down message from last year when he called out China for its aggressive policies, continual harassment of Taiwan, which Beijing protested against.
