China’s Envoy Says No to Trade Wars, Calls for Working Together

Have you ever had an argument with a friend and realized that working together would have been better? 🤝 That’s kind of what’s happening between countries right now!

China’s Ambassador to the United States, Xie Feng, recently spoke about how China feels about trade wars. He said that China is strongly against any kind of tariff war or trade war. Tariffs are like extra taxes placed on goods that countries buy and sell to each other. When countries start a trade war, it can make things more expensive and harder for everyone.

Ambassador Xie Feng was speaking at a special event about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). He shared an old Chinese saying: “The greatest physicians save a country, and the second greatest save individuals.” This means that helping everyone is more important than just helping a few people. 🌍

He compared solving global problems to how doctors treat illnesses in TCM. Instead of just fixing the symptoms, like a cough or fever, it’s important to find and treat the root cause of the problem. In the same way, instead of fighting over trade and making things harder, countries should work together to find solutions that help everyone.

Ambassador Xie said that fighting over trade is like blocking roads that connect countries. If those roads are blocked, goods can’t move, and people might not get what they need. 🚫 This can lead to higher prices and shortages of products.

He believes that the best way forward is for countries to cooperate and keep the world economy moving smoothly. This way, everyone can benefit, and the “pie” gets bigger for all to share! 🥧

Despite challenges, China’s economy is doing well. In the first part of the year, China’s economy grew by 5.4%, which is one of the highest among big countries. Events like the China International Consumer Products Expo had more brands and businesses than ever before! 🎉

Ambassador Xie emphasized that China will continue to open its doors and work with other countries. By doing this, China hopes to bring more stability and certainty to the world. 🌟

In a world with many uncertainties, cooperation and working together are more important than ever. Just like when friends team up to solve a problem, countries can achieve more when they collaborate! 💪
