China accuses US of unilateralism, protectionism and economic bullying with tariffs

Beijing, Apr 7 (AP) China on Monday accused the US of unilateralism, protectionism and economic bullying with tariffs.

“Putting the US first over international rules is a typical act of unilateralism, protectionism and economic bullying,” Foreign Affairs spokesperson Lin Jian told reporters.

Trump announced sweeping tariffs last week and China and other governments retaliated quickly.

Lin said the new tariffs harmed the stability of global production and supply chain and seriously impacted the world's economic recovery. (AP) AMS
