Donald Trump has been imposing heavy tariffs on other countries since assuming the post of President of America. Especially on China, which is its top economic opponent but also the major business partner. Emphasizing the importance of India-China economic and business relations, Chinese Embassy spokesman U Jing said that “China-India is based on economic and business relations mutual benefits. Facing the US tariff, the two largest developing countries should stand together to overcome difficulties.”
U Jing further stated that “there is no winner in trade and tariff wars. All countries should maintain the principles of comprehensive consultation, practice true multiplicism, jointly oppose all types of unilateralism and protectionism.”
