‘Such two-faced acts not good…’: China’s foreign minister criticises US tariffs, says will retaliate

“China has been actively cooperating with the US to help contain the fentanyl crisis, but in return, we are met with punitive tariffs,” Wang said, according to a report by Associated Press (AP).

He further warned that Washington cannot expect to suppress China while maintaining stable ties.

“No country should fantasize that it can suppress China and maintain a good relationship with China at the same time,” Wang said. “Such two-faced acts are not good for the stability of bilateral relations or for building mutual trust”, as reported by AP.

Tensions between the two global powers remain high, with trade disputes and strategic competition straining diplomatic ties.
