Hey there! Did you hear about the latest news between China and the United States?
China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Guo Jiakun, has a message for the U.S.: If you want to solve the problems with tariffs, it’s time to stop the threats and start talking nicely! π
What’s a tariff? It’s like a tax that countries put on goods they buy from each other. Sometimes, countries use tariffs to make imported things more expensive.
Recently, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said, “I believe that it’s up to China to de-escalate, because they sell five times more to us than we sell to them.”
But Guo Jiakun reminded everyone that the tariff troubles were started by the U.S. He said the best way to fix things is through friendly dialogue based on equality, respect, and helping each other out! π€
Let’s hope both countries can chat it out and make the world a happier place! πβ€οΈ
