Beijing has warned its trading partners against succumbing to US pressure to isolate China in President Donald Trump’s tariff war, as part of its carrot-and-stick approach to win over countries caught between the world’s two largest economies.

Commenting on recent media reports about the Trump administration’s plans to pressure countries into restricting trade with China in exchange for exemptions from US tariffs, a spokesperson for China’s Commerce Ministry said on Monday: “Appeasement does not bring peace, and compromise does not earn respect.”

“Seeking temporary self-interest at the expense of others — in exchange for so-called exemptions — is like asking a tiger for its skin. In the end, it will achieve nothing and harm both others and oneself,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
-China firmly opposes any party reaching a deal at the expense of China’s interests. If such a situation arises, China will not accept it and will resolutely take reciprocal countermeasures,” the spokesperson added.

The stern warning comes on the heels of Chinese leader charm offensive in Southeast Asia, where he presented China as a reliable partner and staunch defender of global trade – in stark contrast to the tariff whiplash and policy uncertainty of the Trump administration.

While neither the U.S. nor China has fully ended the trade conflict, the dynamics have shifted:

2)Tech Decoupling:The U.S. continues to restrict China’s access to semiconductors, AI, and 5G (e.g., Huawei bans, CHIPS Act).
3)Supply Chain Shifts:Companies diversify away from China to India, Vietnam, and Mexico, but full decoupling remains slow.
4)Geopolitical Flashpoints:Taiwan, South China Sea disputes, and export controls could reignite tensions.
