Have you ever traded toys with a friend? Imagine if your friend suddenly wanted to charge you extra for trading! 😲 That’s kind of what’s happening between China and the United States right now.
The United States has said it might add more tariffs (which are like extra taxes) on things it buys from China. This means products from China could become more expensive in the U.S.
In response, China’s government has said they will stand strong and “fight to the end” to protect their rights. They believe that adding extra tariffs isn’t fair and breaks international trade rules.
A spokesperson from China’s Foreign Ministry, Lin Jian, said these actions hurt not just China but also other countries and the global economy. Lin added that no one really wins in a trade war, and it’s better when countries work together nicely.
It’s like when friends have a disagreement—it’s best to talk it out and find a solution that makes everyone happy! 😊
