China Rallies Allies to Counter U.S. Tariffs, Vows No Compromise

China is actively engaging with multiple countries to collectively address the U.S.'s imposition of what it deems as "reciprocal" tariffs. Over the past few days, Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao has been in frequent communication with various parties, focusing on strategies to counter the U.S.'s tariff measures. These discussions have conveyed two key messages: first, China is uniting global forces to uphold fairness and justice in international trade. The U.S. has initiated unilateral trade wars, and China's response is to rally all possible allies, not limited to ASEAN or the EU. Second, there are concerns that if other countries reach agreements with the U.S., China might be isolated. China's stance is clear: other countries' decisions to either retaliate against or negotiate with the U.S. are matters of their sovereignty, and China has no objections. However, China will not tolerate any country using China's interests as bargaining chips with the U.S.

China's approach to countering the U.S.'s tariff actions involves multiple strategies, including multilateral cooperation, legal measures, and retaliatory actions. This demonstrates China's resolute determination and confidence. China also calls on the international community to work together to maintain fairness in global trade. The U.S.'s unilateral tariff imposition has faced widespread opposition. On April 10, the U.S. issued an executive order announcing an 84% increase in tariffs on Chinese goods exported to the U.S. China is actively rallying global support to maintain the principles of fairness and justice in international trade. China's efforts to counter the U.S.'s tariff actions are not limited to economic measures but also include legal and diplomatic strategies. China's firm stance and proactive measures reflect its commitment to defending its national interests and promoting a fair and just global trading system.
