China has expressed strong condemnation towards the increasing pressure from the United States on its trading partners, vowing to retaliate against any actions that may harm its interests. Reports suggest that Washington is pushing its allies to decrease trade with Beijing in exchange for tariff exemptions, a move that China deems as coercive. Beijing is adamant about maintaining equality in trade negotiations and cautions against protectionism, underscoring its determination to safeguard its rights amid the escalating tariffs. The Chinese government’s firm stance comes amidst heightened tensions in global trade relations.
