China reacted to US tariff appeal. The spokesperson of China’s Foreign Ministry said that problems cannot be solved through pressure and intimidation.
China described the US call on G7 and NATO nations to impose tariffs on itself and other countries buying oil from Russia as an act of unilateral “intimidation” and “economic pressure”.China has also warned that if this appeal of America is implemented then it will take retaliatory steps. This reaction of China has come at a time when the delegations of America and China are meeting for the second time on economic and trade issues in Spain on Monday.
What did the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson say?
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said that China’s economic and energy cooperation with other countries, including Russia, is completely legitimate and in accordance with the rules. Responding to the US appeal to G7 and NATO countries to impose additional tariffs on China, he said that this step is a means of creating economic pressure and one-sided intimidation. According to him, this weakens international trade rules and endangers the security and stability of global industry and supply chains.
‘Problems are not solved by pressure and intimidation’
Lin Jian said, “Problems cannot be solved by pressure and intimidation. China’s stance on the Ukraine crisis is clear and stable, a solution is possible only through dialogue and agreement.” US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that to end the Ukraine war, NATO countries should impose taxes of 50 to 100 percent on China and stop buying oil from Russia.
