#USChinaTensions According to reports, the U.S. is pressuring nations such as Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea to reduce their trade with China in exchange for tariff exemptions. China denounces this "economic bullying" and warns that "appeasement cannot bring peace." The Chinese ministry emphasizes that it will not accept agreements that sacrifice its interests and will defend its rights. Although countermeasures are not specified, reciprocal economic actions are expected. China criticizes U.S. unilateralism and urges for the defense of fairness in global trade, seeking to strengthen ties with other regions. The situation challenges nations to balance their trade relations with the two largest economies. China warns countries about trade agreements with the U.S. that may harm their interests, threatening reciprocal countermeasures. Beijing firmly opposes agreements at its expense, in a context of rising trade tensions with Washington over tariffs.
