'Some countries are currently intervening in the market in the name of de-risking, using measures such as additional tariffs and restrictions to promote so-called 'manufacturing reshoring',' He said at the opening ceremony of the third China International Supply Chain Expo on Wednesday.

There are no winners in tariff wars or trade wars.'
