China refused to bow to what it called "blackmail" from the United States as a global trade war ignited by President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs showed little sign of abating. Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Tuesday (April 8) that China will "take all necessary countermeasures" to safeguard its interests. - REUTERS

00:00I would like to reiterate that there are no winners in a trade war or a tariff war.
00:06Protectionism offers no way out.
00:08The Chinese people do not provoke trouble, but we are not afraid of it.
00:15Resorting to pressure, threats and blackmail is not the right way to engage with China.
00:19China will take all necessary countermeasures to resolutely safeguard its legitimate and
00:24lawful rights and interests.
00:25The actions of the U.S. side have not demonstrated any genuine willingness for serious dialogue.
00:36If the U.S. truly wishes to engage in talks, it should adopt an attitude of equality, mutual
00:41respect and reciprocity.
00:43If it persists in disregarding the common interests of both countries and the international community
00:47and insists on escalating the trade and tariff conflict, China will, as always, fight to
00:52the end.
