📢 Hey guys! Big news on the international stage! China is pointing at the European Union (EU), saying they're the ones to blame for ramping up trade tensions that could spark a \"trade war\". 😱
On Friday, China's Ministry of Commerce made a bold statement: \"The responsibility lies solely with the EU side.\" Ouch! They expressed concerns over the EU's actions that might be heating things up between the two economic giants.
China emphasized it doesn't want these trade troubles with the EU. The ministry stressed that it's the European side that's been \"regrettably\" stirring the pot with continuous trade disputes. 🎯
Since the start of this year, the EU has slapped China with 31 restrictive trade and investment measures! 🚧 Out of these, 25 are trade remedies. That's seriously impacting China-EU economic and trade cooperation, according to the ministry.
But wait, China's not backing down! They've shown an open and cooperative attitude, explicitly looking to solve these issues through dialogue and consultation. 🤝 The ministry added that China has always played by the World Trade Organization's rules, using trade remedies carefully and sparingly.
Facing what they call \"EU's protectionism\", China is determined to protect its legitimate interests. They're hoping the EU will sit down at the table to talk it out, preventing things from getting out of control. 🌍✌️
So, will these two global powers find common ground? Let's hope they choose cooperation over conflict! Stay tuned for more updates! 🔥
