China is pushing back against new U.S. tariffs, calling them an outdated tactic in today's global economy. A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson stated Thursday that Washington's decision to impose whopping 245% tariffs on select Chinese goods “no longer makes economic sense”—and doubles down on what Beijing views as American economic bullying. 💼🔥
The White House announced the tariffs earlier this month, framing them as a response to “retaliatory actions” by China. But Beijing argues the U.S. is stuck in a “numbers game,” using tariffs as political weapons rather than practical tools. “Trade wars have no winners,” the spokesperson warned, adding China would defend its interests “to the end” if provoked further. 🛡️🌍
While stressing that China “does not want to fight,” the remarks signal escalating tensions between the world's two largest economies. Analysts say the tariff drama could ripple through global markets, impacting everything from tech supply chains to everyday consumer prices. 📉💡
What's next? Both sides are digging in—raising concerns that this economic face-off might reshape international trade norms. Stay tuned for updates as this story develops! 📌✨
