If multilateralism and free trade are threatened, the economic globalization process will be disrupted, and the global economic recovery will be severely imperilled.
"This is detrimental to the vital interests of China and even more detrimental to the common interests of the world," he said.
"Facing such a major issue, we must fight resolutely," the spokesperson said.
"Even though we are not the ones to stir up trouble, we will resolutely strike back if trouble is brought to our doorstep. Chinese people always act earnestly and deliver what we promise," Gao said.
Earlier this week, the U.S. Trade Representative office proposed imposing an additional 25 percent tariff on 50 billion dollars worth of imports from China, which drew strong opposition from business groups.
Hours after the release of the proposed tariff list, China struck back with a tariff plan of equal scale, with a list of U.S. products including soybeans, automobiles, aircraft and chemical products.
The date of implementation will depend on when the U.S. government imposes the tariffs on Chinese products, according to the Ministry of Finance.
