India, China Should Stand Together To Face US Tariffs Abuse: Chinese Official

The Chinese Embassy’s spokeswoman in India stated on Tuesday that China and India should work together to overcome the challenges posed by the tariffs imposed by the US President Donald Trump’s administration.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), spokesperson Yu Jing said, “China’s economy is underpinned by a system that ensures steady growth, and produces positive spillovers. Chinese manufacturing is built on a complete and continually upgrading industrial system, sustained investment in R&D, and a strong focus on innovation.”

She added, “China is a firm defender of economic globalization and multilateralism, which has injected strong impetus into the world economy, contributing to around 30 percent of global growth annually on average. We will continue to work with the rest of the world to safeguard the multilateral trade system with the World Trade Organization (WTO) at its core.”

“China-India economic and trade relationship is based on complimentarity and mutual benefit. Facing the U.S. abuse of tariffs, which deprives countries, especially Global South countries, of their right to development, the two largest developing countries should stand together to overcome the difficulties.”

“Trade and tariff wars have no winners. All countries should uphold the principles of extensive consultation, practice true multilateralism, jointly oppose all forms of unilateralism and protectionism”, she posted.
