China’s top diplomat in Washington delivered a clear message this week: ‘Trade wars help no one.’ 🌍 Ambassador Xie Feng called on the U.S. to halt its ‘maximum pressure’ tactics during a major speech at the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations’ annual dinner.
💡 ‘A tariff war should not be fought – and cannot be won,’ Xie declared, emphasizing that escalating tensions would ‘lead nowhere’ for either economy. Let’s break it down:
🔹 China wants ‘mutual respect and equal-footed consultation’ to resolve disputes
🔹 Both nations urged to focus on win-win cooperation over competition
🔹 Ambassador stressed preserving ‘international trade rules’ amid rising tensions
Xie’s speech comes as global markets watch U.S.-China relations closely. His solution? ‘Pool synergies’ through dialogue rather than confrontation. 🕊️ Will this reset the tone? Business leaders and policymakers are taking notes.
