Hey there! Did you know that China and the United States are big friends when it comes to trading things like toys, gadgets, and more? But recently, China is asking the U.S. to stop adding extra taxes, called tariffs, on things like steel and aluminum.
Imagine you’re trading snacks with your friend, and suddenly they say you have to give them two candies for every one they give you! That’s not fair, right? That’s kind of what’s happening between China and the U.S.
China’s Ministry of Commerce spokesperson, Mr. He Yongqian, said that making it harder to trade hurts everyone and can mess up how things are made and shared around the world. He thinks both countries should talk nicely and work together to keep things fair and smooth.
He also mentioned that China has been keeping its promises from earlier talks, but the U.S. has made new rules that make it tougher for China. If this keeps happening, China says it might have to do something to protect itself.
In the end, China wants the U.S. to remove these extra taxes so both countries can have a happy and healthy trading friendship! 🤝
