China Issues Stern Warning Against Trade Deals with US, Threatens Countermeasures
China warns of retaliation against countries making trade deals with the US that harm its interests amid escalating tariffs and trade negotiations.
Overview
China has issued a stern warning to countries like Japan and South Korea against negotiating trade agreements with the US that jeopardize its interests. The Chinese Commerce Ministry cautions it will take 'corresponding countermeasures' against any deals perceived as harmful. This follows President Trump’s escalation of tariffs on Chinese imports to 145%, with China reciprocating with its own tariffs. Amid ongoing negotiations with other countries, China warns that appeasement or compromise with the US will not yield stability, and insists it will defend its rights vigorously. The situation underscores the intensifying trade war between the two nations.
