Beijing warning: ‘Actions to protect legitimate rights and interests’
China will adopt “firm countermeasures to protect its legitimate rights and interests” in the event that any country ends up stipulating commercial agreements with the United States at the expense of Beijing, “in exchange for the so -called reduction of duties”. On the weekend, the Ministry of Commerce expressed its “firm oppositions” to similar practices through a spokesperson, responding to a media demand on the recent commercial interviews of the USA with other economies.
The Ministry’s official said that Washington is exercising strong pressures on his commercial partners so that they accept mutual duties, “typical example of unilateral arrogance that seriously undermines the multilateral commercial system and shakes the normal order of international trade”.
China welcomes the efforts made by other countries to deal with commercial disputes with the United States “through consultations based on equality and invites all parties to support equity and justice, to be on the right part of history and to safeguard the rules of international trade and the multilateral commercial system firmly. It has been shown that only by constantly supporting its principles and its position can a country really protect its legitimate rights,” The spokesman.
