“China Is Not Afraid of Trade War With the US” – Xi Jinping Says to Trump
Xi Jinping, China’s leader, has firmly stated that his country is “not afraid,” addressing the ongoing trade war with the United States for the first time publicly.
Speaking with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez in Beijing on Friday, Xi made it clear that China would not be intimidated by external pressures, as reported by state broadcaster CCTV.
The trade war, which began under President Donald Trump, has rattled global markets and raised concerns about a potential worldwide recession.
Xi emphasized, “There are no winners in a trade war. Pursuing conflict with the world will only lead to isolation.”
He added, “For over seven decades, China’s progress has been driven by hard work and self-reliance, not by handouts from others. We are not afraid of any unfair suppression.”
“China will stay confident, focused, and committed to managing its own affairs, no matter how the external situation evolves.”
These comments followed the announcement from The White House that the Trump administration has raised tariffs on Chinese goods to 145 percent, with the new rates taking effect immediately.
