‘No winners in trade war’: China slams US tariffs, says it’s a leading partner for 140 countries
Hindustan TimesChina’s commerce minister Wang Wentao on Thursday said that the country will not yield to pressure and can withstand higher US tariffs, though he warned that there are “no winners in a trade war.” Wang Wentao, China's Minister of Commerce, attends a press conference during the second session of the 14th National People's Congress in Beijing on March 6, 2025. If the American side goes further down this wrong path, we will fight to the end.” He reiterated China's willingness to resolve trade disputes, saying, “Our two sides can meet at an appropriate time, and our teams can also communicate as early as possible.” However, he dismissed Trump’s justification for imposing 20 percent tariffs on all Chinese imports, blaming China for the US fentanyl crisis, claiming it would not address the issue. “We do not put all our eggs in one basket,” Wang said, emphasising China’s push to strengthen consumer demand and diversify its trade strategy. Zheng Shanjie, head of the National Development and Reform Commission, China’s primary planning body said that projections for economic growth in 2025 are expected to range between 4.6 percent and 4.8 percent, falling short of the government’s target of “around percent.” Zheng said that the government is working on a “specialised plan of action” to boost consumer spending and investment, although he did not share further details.
