Singapore Lianhe Zaobao reported today: "On Saturday (April 26), China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi said regarding the US tariff measures that China has taken necessary countermeasures, which is not only to safeguard its own legitimate rights and interests but also to uphold the international rules order and international fairness and justice."
The United States recklessly wields the tariff stick, imposing so-called "reciprocal tariffs" on many trading partners, completely disregarding WTO rules, severely damaging the multilateral trading system, undermining global economic stability and the legitimate rights and interests of various countries. This fully reveals its essence of unilateralism and trade hegemony. In this situation, China's necessary countermeasures are aimed at defending its own legitimate rights and interests, as the groundless imposition of tariffs has seriously impacted China's foreign trade and related industries; it is also about upholding the international rules order and fairness and justice, preventing the global trade order from being wantonly trampled by the United States. China's action demonstrates its firm opposition to bullying. China's unyielding attitude also contributes crucial strength to maintaining the world economic order.
