Xi Jinping’s BOLD Message To Trump: ‘Bully Tactics’ Will Backfire Amid U.S-China Trade Truce

Xi Jinping warns that “bullying” and “hegemonism” in global trade will backfire, criticizing U.S. trade policies. Speaking at a Latin American summit in Beijing, Xi emphasized that no one wins in a tariff war, advocating for unity and cooperation. His comments follow a temporary truce in the U.S.-China trade conflict, where both nations agreed to significantly reduce tariffs. With China scaling back levies on U.S. imports and the U.S. agreeing to lower tariffs on Chinese goods, Xi framed China as a defender of free trade and global fairness. #XiJinping #TradeWar #USTariffs #ChinaUSRelations #GlobalTrade #TariffTruce #EconomicConfrontation #USChinaTrade #FairTrade #GlobalEconomy #ChinaSpeech #TradeTensions #DeEscalation #LatinAmerica #USChinaTensions #TradeDiplomacy #EconomicWar #FreeTrade #InternationalRelations #XiSpeaks #Hegemonism #TradeUnity #ChinaVictory #TradePolicy #GlobalSummit #BullyTactics #ChinaUSDeal #ChinaLeadership #TariffReduction #EconomicPressures #ChinaUSDeal Also Read Trump Slaps 145% Tariffs On China As Trade War Deepens :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-slaps-145-tariffs-on-china-as-trade-war-deepens-4120591.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Praises Chinese Counterpart Xi Jinping Amid US-China Tariff Standoff, Calls Him 'Very Smart Man' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-praises-chinese-counterpart-xi-jinping-amid-us-china-tariff-standoff-calls-him-very-smart-ma-4120019.html?ref=DMDesc China, US On Collision Course As Trade Spat Fuels Geopolitical Rift; Beijing Vows To ‘Fight To The End’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/china-us-on-collision-course-as-trade-spat-fuels-geopolitical-rift-beijing-vows-to-fight-to-the-e-4117775.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~

China Hits Back on Fentanyl Accusations | ‘Your Crisis, Not Ours!’ | Trade Truce on Edge?

China has issued a stern warning to the United States, urging Washington to “stop smearing and shifting the blame” over the ongoing fentanyl crisis. Despite a recently announced 90-day tariff reduction deal, tensions remain high as Beijing calls U.S. fentanyl-related policies unreasonable and harmful to bilateral cooperation. China reiterated that it does not bear responsibility for America’s opioid epidemic and called for respectful, equal, and constructive dialogue moving forward. While U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer insists efforts will continue, Beijing's frustration could derail further negotiations. #ChinaUSRelations #FentanylCrisis #TradeTensions #ChinaWarning #LinJian #USChinaTrade #DonaldTrump #Trump #XiJinping #OpioidCrisis #TariffWar #FentanylPolicy #DrugControl #ForeignPolicy #Geopolitics #BilateralRelations #FentanylDebate #MutualRespect #BreakingNews #ChinaSpeaksOut #JamiesonGreer #TradeTalks #DiplomaticStrain #USChinaDialogue #FentanylTariffs #Fentanyl #GlobalDrugCrisis Also Read Did Pakistan Blame China-Turkey For Missiles, Drones Failures Against India?
