Hey, global citizens! 🌍 Got a minute for some international buzz? Let's dive in! 🏊♂️
On Tuesday, a spokesperson from China's Foreign Ministry made a significant call to action. They're urging the United States to value the goodwill between the two nations and protect the positive vibes 🌟 they've built around drug-control cooperation.
So, what's shaking things up? 🤔 U.S. President-elect Donald Trump just threatened to slap an extra 10% tariff on all Chinese imports. 😮 That's like putting a speed bump on a smooth road! 🚧
China prides itself on being one of the toughest countries when it comes to counter-narcotics 🚫💊—both in policy and action. Recognizing that fentanyl is a big issue for the U.S., China has shown some serious humanity by supporting the U.S. in tackling this problem.
\"Back in 2019, China officially scheduled all fentanyl-related substances, becoming the first country ever to do so,\" the spokesperson highlighted. 🎖️ They've also been collaborating extensively with the U.S. on counter-narcotics, yielding productive results. 🤝
The message is clear: China is ready to continue this important cooperation with the U.S., but it needs to be on the basis of equality, mutual benefit, and mutual respect. ✊ Let's hope both sides can keep the momentum going for a safer world! 🌐
