China has doubled down on its call for cooperative dialogue with the U.S. after Washington slapped a 10% tariff on Chinese goods this week. 🔥 \"We won\u2019t back down to threats,\" declared Lou Qinjian, spokesperson for China\u2019s National People\u2019s Congress, framing the dispute as a clash between collaboration and confrontation.
While emphasizing China\u2019s openness to talks, Lou insisted all trade issues be resolved through WTO rules – likening the global trade body to a \"referee\" in a high-stakes game. 🏛️🤝 \"Playing by the rulebook benefits everyone,\" he said, urging the U.S. to avoid unilateral measures.
The move comes as young professionals and entrepreneurs worldwide watch closely – tariffs could impact everything from tech supply chains to avocado toast prices. 🥑📱 Analysts suggest this \"cold economic war\" might redefine how superpowers negotiate in our TikTok-speed era. 🕒⚖️
