At a news conference, He Yongqian of the Ministry of Commerce, said additional 10% rates on all Chinese products are “perverse”
Nelson de Sá – China did not announce new retaliation actions on Thursday (6), but the spokesmen of the main ministries accelerated the rhetorical climb with the government of Donald Trump.
At a news conference, He Yongqian of the Ministry of Commerce, said additional 10% rates on all Chinese products are “perverse” and that “in the face of unilateral acts of bullying, [Pequim] will take the necessary measures. ”
In the Foreign Ministry, Lin Jian had already said that Beijing “deplores” the new tariffs, justified “under the pretext of Fentanil,” and “pressing or threatening China will not lead to anything.” About the drug, “is a problem for the US, its root cause is in its own country,” not abroad, and “reducing internal drug demand is the fundamental solution.”
This Thursday, talking about Trump’s idea of “cleaning” Gaza’s track and making it a real estate “riviera”, Guo Jiakun, another spokesman, described American movements as “a jungle law” or “more strong”.
Another sign of the climb was the confirmation, by Guo, that the former Embaixador in France, Lu Shaye, was chosen as Beijing’s special representative for European affairs. It is the one who will deal from now on “with European countries and institutions of the European Union”, which he knows as sent “experienced”, seeking “to promote dialogue and cooperation”.
The appointment had been reported the day before by Zichen Wang, Journalist and Research from the Center for China and Globalization, by Beijing, and was echoing in social media.
Lu, who left Paris just two months ago, was celebrated by verbal aggression, which led him to be described as “Warrior Wolf.” Derived from the title of a Chinese action movie, the expression has designated the Chinese employees more likely to the public clash in recent years.
In the most remembered episode, Lu stated two years ago on a French television program that “by international law these former Soviet Union paists,” in reference to the Balticas, “they do not have the effective international agreement to materialize their status as a sovereign country.”
China and Lithuania, one of the countries, then underwent a dispute around the approach that the second sought with Taiwan, which Beijing responded by reducing commercial ties. The dispute, which served to remove the European Union from China, continues.
