China's Ministry of Commerce spokesperson has declared that China firmly opposes any agreement between the United States and its trading partners if it comes at the expense of Chinese interests. In a bold statement, the spokesperson warned that if such a situation arises, China will not accept it and will take resolute countermeasures to safeguard its legitimate rights.
Under the guise of "reciprocity," the United States has been imposing tariffs arbitrarily and pressuring other countries into so-called reciprocal tariff negotiations. The spokesperson stressed, "appeasement does not bring peace, and compromise does not lead to respect," emphasizing that attempts to trade the interests of others for tariff exemptions are doomed to fail and will harm all parties in the long run.
This firm stance comes as concerns grow over a trade environment that risks reverting to the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak. China is ready to work with all parties to strengthen solidarity and coordination, jointly oppose unilateral bullying, and ensure that international economic and trade rules are upheld. ⚖️🌍
Stay tuned for more updates on how these developments might reshape international trade and impact global markets.
