Hey there! Have you ever played a game where someone didn’t follow the rules? It’s not fun, right? 😕 Well, countries trade with each other kind of like how we trade toys or cards, and they have rules to keep things fair.
Recently, China asked the United States to follow the rules when it comes to buying and selling things like ships and other goods. A Chinese government spokesperson named Guo Jiakun said that the U.S. wasn’t playing fair and was breaking the rules that countries agreed on.
🌏 The rules they’re talking about are made by a group called the World Trade Organization (WTO). It’s like a big club where countries agree on how to trade nicely with each other.
China says that its shipbuilding industry is growing because of hard work, new ideas (that’s called innovation!), and lots of people who like to buy and sell. They think it’s not okay for the U.S. to blame China for problems with their own shipbuilding industry.
China hopes that the U.S. will return to following the fair rules, so both countries can keep trading and helping each other. After all, it’s more fun when everyone plays by the rules! 😊
