tariff war comes.Lin Jian, a representative for the ministry, made the remarks at a routine press instruction in response to a question on

not only to protect ones own sovereignty, security and advancement interests, however also to keep worldwide fairness and justice, the
multilateral trading system and the common interests of the global community

worldwide financial and trade rules and the multilateral trading system being weakened

interests above the interests of the worldwide neighborhood and sacrifices the genuine interests of other countries to serve its hegemonic
interests, which will inevitably be consulted with stronger opposition from the global neighborhood.
