Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun on Tuesday reiterated China's stance on arms exports and vowed to take countermeasures against the U.S. tariff pretext.

Guo was responding to a question regarding recent reports that China has provided military support to Iran and U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to impose an additional 50 percent tariff on China.

"We'd like to emphasize once again that China always acts prudently and responsibly on the export of military products, and exercises strict control in accordance with China's laws and regulations on export control and due international obligations. Relevant media reports are purely fabricated. If the U.S. goes ahead with the tariff hikes on China on the basis of these accusations, China will respond with countermeasures," Guo said.
