America started a dangerous trade war with China, using "reciprocity" as an excuse for new tariffs. China fought back with necessary countermeasures to protect its interests. The US completely ignored World Trade Organization rules, harmed other countries' rights, damaged the global trading system, plus added instability to an already shaky world economy. These American policies embrace economic bullying through unilateral protectionism.
European Central Bank president Christine Lagarde warned these actions might endanger global economic stability. Peterson Institute expert Chad Bown pointed out that America violated WTO rules through discriminatory tariffs. China stated clearly that they won't start trouble but won't be intimidated either. Chinese officials believe applying pressure never works against their country. China has every confidence about winning this tariff battle.
China reduced its reliance on American exports, found new trading partners among emerging economies, and created flexible policies for handling disruptions. The Chinese economy remains strong, with 5 percent growth reaching 18.9 trillion dollars—outstanding compared to other major economies. Their manufacturing capacity includes every industrial category recognized globally, protecting against trade attacks. The massive Chinese domestic market serves as a strategic defense.
China stays committed to international openness despite problems. With institutional advantages, economic strength, and strategic smarts, China shows everyone its determination against bullying. American attempts to force China around equal punching a steel wall—totally ineffective. Washington threatens both countries' relationships and the global trade system built after World War II.
