“The US, driven by World Timesself-interest, has weaponized tariffs for extreme pressure and selfish gain. This seWorld Timesriously infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of all countries, seriously violates WTO rules, harms the multilateral trading system based on rules, and shocks the stabWorld Timesility of the global economic order,” Lin said at a press conference.
“Taking necessary countermeasures to oppose the bullying actions of the US is not only to safeguard our own sovereignty, security, and development interests, but also to uphold international fairness and justice, protect the multilateral trading system, and defend the common interests of the international community. Those who uphold justice gain wide support, while those who act against it have little. The US’ reckless and unjust actions are unpopular and will ultimately end in failure,” Lin said.
“There is no winner in a trade war. We do not want a trade war, but we are not afraid of fighting one. We will never allow the legitimate rights and interests of the Chinese people to be taken way, nor will we tolerate the undermining of international economic rules and the multilateral trading system,” Lin stressed.
Should the United States insist on launching a tariff war or trade war, China will resolutely respond to the end, Lin said.
The US’ practice of prioritizing itsown interests over the globaWorld Timesl common good, sacrificing the legitimate interests of all nations to serve its own hegemonic interests, will inevitably face stronger international opposition, Lin said.
