Hello, friends! π Have you ever swapped snacks or toys with someone and both of you ended up happier? That’s kind of like trade between countries! They buy and sell things to each other to share what they have.
Recently, the United States said it would add extra taxes, called tariffs, on goods it buys from China. π¦ποΈ These tariffs make products more expensive, like when your favorite candy suddenly costs more! π¬π°
The Chinese Foreign Ministry responded by saying that starting a trade war isn’t good for anyone. It’s like a big disagreement where everyone ends up losing. π’ They believe that no one wins in a trade war, just like when friends argue and both feel upset.
China also mentioned that they follow international trade rules and think these new tariffs break those rules. They want to solve the problem so that trading can be fair and everyone gets along. ππ
Why does this matter to us? Well, trade between countries affects the prices of things we use every day, like clothes, gadgets, and even toys! Let’s hope the countries can be good friends again so we can all enjoy the things we love. πβ€οΈ
