China has reiterated its opposition to unilateral tariff measures, calling on the United States to adhere to World Trade Organization (WTO) regulations during a press briefing on Thursday. He Yadong, spokesperson for the Chinese Commerce Ministry, emphasized the need for multilateral cooperation to resolve trade tensions, responding to recent remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump.
"Unilateral actions disrupt global trade stability and harm the interests of all parties," He stated, underscoring China\u2019s commitment to WTO principles. The comments come amid heightened scrutiny of U.S. trade policies, which have sparked concerns among businesses and investors about potential market volatility.
Analysts suggest the dispute highlights broader challenges in balancing national economic strategies with international trade frameworks. As two of the world\u2019s largest economies, China and the U.S. play pivotal roles in shaping global supply chains and investment flows. He urged dialogue to "avoid further escalation" and foster a predictable business environment.
