“There is no winner in a tariff war, and going against the world will only result in self-isolation”, Mr. Xi said in his first comments since Mr. Trump began imposing tariffs on China and a host of other countries sending shockwaves around the world.
In his meeting with Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez of Spain which is part of the 27-member block, Xi called on China and the EU to fulfil their international responsibilities, work together to safeguard economic globalisation and the international trading environment, and jointly resist unilateral bullying, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
