China must see to its own domestic affairs and promote all-around socioeconomic progress. Externally, it must walk the path of peaceful development without wavering, adhere to an independent foreign policy of peace and hold fast to multilateralism to foster solidarity with other nations.

During his first campaign for office, Trump’s threat to impose tariffs on China was dismissed by many as a rhetorical flourish, not serious policy.

Beijing has put the United States on notice that China will fight to safeguard its interests. Like a giant panda, which will attack someone who pokes it in the eye, China retaliated swiftly after the Biden administration tightened the screws on technology exports.
