Hey everyone! 👋 Did you know that when countries argue over trade by adding tariffs (extra taxes on goods from other places), it can be bad for all of us? That’s what China’s Foreign Ministry is saying!
On Tuesday, Mao Ning, the spokesperson for China’s Foreign Ministry, reminded the world that in a trade or tariff war, there are no winners. That means everyone can get hurt when countries don’t get along in trading.
This message came after the United States talked about putting higher tariffs on some countries it trades with. Tariffs can make products more expensive and can lead to other countries doing the same thing. It’s like when friends stop sharing toys—everyone ends up having less fun!
China is encouraging all countries to work together and avoid protectionism. Protectionism is when a country tries to protect its own businesses by making it harder for other countries to sell things there. But working together means more choices and better prices for everyone! 🎉
Let’s hope all the countries can team up and make trading fair and fun for the whole world! 🌐✨
