China media downplays Trump's tariff threats, highlights fentanyl remarks

China's state media dismissed U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's plan to impose additional tariffs on Chinese goods, focusing instead on his comments about the fentanyl crisis. They criticized Trump for blaming China for U.S. drug issues. Trump announced a potential 10% tariff on Chinese imports, adding to previous threats of over 60%. This has raised concerns in China, where exports to the U.S. exceed $400 billion annually. Chinese editorials argued that the U.S. should not scapegoat China for its problems. They emphasized that the root cause of the fentanyl crisis lies within the U.S. itself, not in China's actions.
