China says countries should not rush into economic deals with the United States just to please the Trump administration.
China accused the United States of abusing tariffs on Friday and warned countries against signing a broader economic deal with Washington that would disadvantage them.
China's Commerce Ministry said Beijing would firmly oppose any party signing a deal that would disadvantage China and "will take resolute and reciprocal countermeasures."
"The United States has abused tariffs on all trading partners under the guise of so-called 'equivalence' and forced all parties to start so-called 'reciprocal tariffs' negotiations with it," a ministry spokesman was quoted as saying by Reuters.
