In a move that feels more like a high-stakes dance-off than diplomacy, China has declared it’s ready to collaborate with the U.S.—but only if the music stops on threats and bullying. 🇨🇳🇺🇸 Lou Qinjian, spokesperson for China’s National People’s Congress, made this clear after the U.S. slapped a fresh 10% tariff on Chinese goods this week.
\"Trade should never be a one-way street,\" Lou emphasized, calling for disputes to be resolved through WTO rules rather than what he called \"economic strong-arming.\"
With trade tensions hotter than a K-pop dance practice, Lou stressed: \"Dialogue thrives on mutual respect, not coercion.\" The comments signal Beijing’s balancing act: prioritizing talks to avoid a global trade meltdown while refusing to back down under pressure.
🔍 Why it matters: U.S.-China trade impacts everything from your smartphone prices to climate goals. But with WTO mediation now front-and-center, could a more chill chapter be brewing? Stay tuned. 🛍️🌱
