China Slams US Tariffs as Economic Violation and Unilateralism
China has strongly condemned US tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, calling them a violation of core economic principles and global trade norms. The Chinese government stated that these tariffs disregard multilateral trade agreements and undermine the benefits the US has long reaped from international trade.
Describing the use of tariffs as economic bullying, China criticized the US for exploiting them as a tool of protectionism and unilateralism, aiming to serve its own interests while harming global trade stability. The move was deemed a violation of World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, threatening the multilateral trading system.
China also accused the US of prioritizing “America First” over global fairness, warning that such actions would face broad international opposition. The government reiterated that, despite these challenges, China would remain open to global trade and continue to support economic globalization.
The statement concluded with a call for multilateralism and fair economic practices, emphasizing that protectionism leads to dead ends, and global trade must be based on shared benefits and cooperation.
