Some comments by China's foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying

  • Says that if countries around the world follow US' example, such behaviour will harm global trade
  • All countries should make concerted efforts to cooperate to solve global economic issues instead of taking unilateral measures

More responses to the implementation of the US tariffs on steel and aluminium coming in. I've summed up the rest of the responses in this post here.

Meanwhile, there's also a report doing the rounds saying that China president Xi Jinping's adviser is to exchange views with the US on "mutual concerns". I wonder what those concerns might be. Hmm.
