Beijing ‘will firmly stand with India, uphold multilateral trading system’; Trump adviser calls out New Delhi for ‘cosying up’ to Xi Jinping
Beijing’s top envoy in New Delhi on Thursday expressed strong support for India, citing the steep US tariffs imposed against the country, and called for “teamwork” and “collaboration” between the world’s two most populous nations in standing up to the “bully”.
“US imposed tariffs of up to 50 per cent on India. China firmly opposes it. Silence only emboldens the bully. China will firmly stand with India, uphold the multilateral trading system,” Ambassador Xu Feihong said.
He said tariffs and trade wars are undermining the very free trade international system the US once benefited from, and accused Washington of wielding tariffs as a “bargaining chip to demand exorbitant prices from various countries”.
