China Reiterates Opposition to Any Trade Deals at Its Expense
China firmly opposes any countries reaching trade agreements with the US that would sacrifice Chinese interests in exchange for tariff relief, according to a statement from the Ministry of Commerce on Saturday night.
'If such a situation occurs, China will not accept it and will take resolute countermeasures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests,' an unidentified spokesperson was cited saying in response to a media query about recent US trade talks with other nations. 'It has been proven that only by firmly upholding its principles and positions can a country truly protect its legitimate rights.'
