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.
