In a candid daily briefing, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Guo Jiakun, stressed that there are no winners in trade and tariff wars. He urged that if the U.S. side truly wishes to resolve tariff issues through dialogue, it must stop threatening and extorting and instead seek discussions on the basis of equality, respect, and mutual benefits. 😊
Guo’s comments followed recent remarks from U.S. President Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, adding fuel to the debate over global trade tensions. According to him, protectionism leads nowhere, and strategies like decoupling or disrupting supply chains will only drive self-isolation.
While China does not want to engage in trade conflicts, the spokesperson made it clear that if a trade war does occur, China is ready to fight. On the flip side, if the U.S. genuinely opts for constructive talks, China will keep the door open for negotiations. This balanced approach reminds us that the global economy benefits more from cooperation than conflict. 🌍🚀
The insights shared today resonate with young entrepreneurs, students, and curious minds who know that in an interconnected world, dialogue and mutual respect pave the way for a more stable and prosperous future.
