#TrumpVsPowell THE US-CHINA TRADE WAR IS LIKELY TO SEE NEW DEVELOPMENTS RATHER THAN MEANINGLESS NUMBERS

China will no longer engage in the "meaningless number game" with the US after some exports here face cumulative tariffs of up to 245%.

China's Ministry of Commerce stated that this move has "blatantly exposed the US's use of tariffs as a tool, weaponizing it irrationally". The country will not fear a prolonged trade conflict; the US needs to act based on mutual respect and equality.

Washington indicated that Trump is willing to make a trade deal, but China must be the first to act, emphasizing that "China needs America's money".
