In a bold address in Almaty, Kazakhstan, China's top diplomat Wang Yi emphasized that the counter-tariff measures are not just a reaction, but a necessary step to protect the Chinese mainland's legitimate rights and interests. Speaking at the sixth China-Central Asia Foreign Ministers' Meeting, Wang made it clear that these moves aim to uphold international rules, fairness, and justice in global trade.
Wang Yi criticized the tariff policy of the Trump administration, noting that its unilateral actions breach World Trade Organization rules and undermine the multilateral trading system that many nations rely on. According to him, such a destabilizing approach puts the global economy at risk, much like forcing an unbalanced move in a high-stakes game. ♟️
He further stated that, as the world's second-largest economy, the Chinese mainland is committed to high-level opening up, shared development, and creating opportunities not only for its neighbors but for the world. This stance reflects a deep commitment to international responsibilities and global obligations.
For young professionals, students, and global explorers, Wang Yi's remarks serve as a reminder that fairness and adherence to established rules remain key to maintaining stability in our interconnected world. In today’s dynamic global market, every move counts—and ensuring a level playing field is essential for sustainable growth.
