China has issued a strong rebuttal against the U.S. decision to impose 'reciprocal tariffs' on imports, calling the move a violation of global trade rules. In statements from the Chinese Embassy in the U.S. and Ambassador to the UK Zheng Zeguang, officials criticized Washington for 'unilateral bullying' and undermining the World Trade Organization (WTO).
The U.S. recently announced tariff hikes on imports from multiple countries, including China, claiming unfair trade practices. But Beijing argues the decision ignores decades of multilateral cooperation and the economic benefits the U.S. has gained from global trade. "The international community must reject protectionism," urged Ambassador Zheng during a green bond ceremony in London.
China also signaled it won't back down, promising "resolute countermeasures" to protect its interests. Analysts warn the tit-for-tat tariffs could trigger a domino effect, destabilizing markets and supply chains.
The debate highlights a clash between unilateral actions and the WTO's rules-based system—raising questions about how nations balance competition with cooperation. With tensions soaring, traders and investors are bracing for ripple effects across industries, from tech to clean energy.
As Washington and Beijing dig in, the world watches: Will dialogue prevail, or will economic rivalries reshape global trade?
