Hey everyone! π Let’s talk about something important happening in the world of trade.
China, one of the biggest countries in the world, has said that it doesn’t like when other countries make trade deals that hurt its own interests.
So, what’s going on? Recently, the United States and Vietnam made a trade deal. China is watching this closely because it wants to make sure that the deal doesn’t harm China in any way.
A spokesperson from China’s Ministry of Commerce, named He Yongqian, said that China is against any kind of \”unilateral bullying.\” That’s a big term! It means one country trying to push others around to get what it wants. π«πͺ
She also said that China supports other countries working things out fairly with the U.S., but if any deal hurts China, they’ll take action to protect themselves.
In her own words: \”If such a situation arises, China will take resolute countermeasures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.\”
What does that mean? It means China is ready to stand up for itself if it feels treated unfairly.
Why should we care? Understanding how countries interact helps us learn about fairness and cooperation on a global scale. ππ€
