China’s Foreign Ministry has declared it will “not flinch” if the U.S. escalates trade tensions, drawing a red line in the global economic arena. 🇨🇳💡 Spokesperson Lin Jian slammed recent U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods as “weaponizing” trade policy, warning these moves disrupt the WTO’s rules and threaten the stability of the global economy.
💬 ‘Nobody wins in a trade war,’ Lin stressed at a press briefing Thursday, ‘but China won’t sit back if its interests—or the world’s—are threatened.’ The bold stance comes after the U.S. imposed 125% tariffs on select Chinese imports, a move critics call a risky gamble. 🎲⚠️
China’s pushback, Lin explained, isn’t just about defending sovereignty—it’s a stand for “international fairness” and the rights of all nations caught in the crossfire. 🌐⚖️ He accused the U.S. of prioritizing “selfish interests” over global cooperation, predicting the strategy will backfire as other countries rally against unilateral tactics.
🔥 The message? While China prefers dialogue, it’s ready to go the distance. ‘If a trade war comes, we’ll fight to the end,’ Lin declared. For young professionals and investors watching, this clash could shape markets, innovation, and the future of multilateral trade. 📉🔮
