🏛️ A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson called on the U.S. to halt “threatening tactics” if it wants to resolve long-standing tariff disputes through dialogue. Speaking at a press briefing on Tuesday, spokesperson Lin Jian stressed that Washington must “create the conditions necessary for talks” before progress can be made.
💡 The remarks come as global markets eye potential shifts in trade policies between the world’s two largest economies. Tariffs on billions of dollars’ worth of goods have fueled tensions since 2018, impacting everything from tech supply chains to avocado toast prices. 🥑📱
🌍 Experts say the stalemate reflects broader geopolitical friction, with young professionals, entrepreneurs, and students worldwide keenly tracking how these talks could reshape global trade rules. For now, Beijing’s message is clear: “No pressure, no threats—let’s talk like partners.” ✨
