Hey there! 🖐️ Have you ever heard about countries trading goods with each other? 🌎 Sometimes, countries buy and sell products like toys, food, or technology. But what happens when one country makes it harder for another country to sell their goods?
Recently, China spoke out about this. A spokesperson named Mao Ning said that countries shouldn’t use tariffs to bully or interfere with other countries. But what’s a tariff? 🤔
A tariff is like a tax that one country puts on goods from another country. Imagine if your favorite candy suddenly cost twice as much because of a tax! 🍭💰
The United States announced that it will put high tariffs on goods from Brazil starting August 1st. They also accused Brazil of doing unfair things in trade and asked them to stop certain actions in their own country.
China thinks this isn’t fair. They believe that countries should respect each other’s independence and not meddle in their internal affairs. This idea comes from important principles in the United Nations, which many countries agree to follow.
In short, China is saying: Let’s play fair and not use tariffs to push other countries around! 🌟
