China has said it doesn’t want trade war with US, said a media report. The statement has come after US President Donald Trump’s decision to impose more tariffs on steel and aluminum, mentioned the report published in The Indian Express. “China does not want a trade war with US but if US takes steps to hurt our interests, we will not sit idle,” the report quoted Zhang Yesui who is the spokesperson of 13th National People’s Congress (NPC)
“We have no intention of overthrowing the existing international order. We are defenders of the existing international order. We hope that the international order will evolve to ensure equity and justice,” the report quoted Yesui as having said. “Saying that the Belt and Road initiative is China’s geopolitical tool is a misrepresentation. The project is a proposal for economic cooperation and opportunities for global growth. It does not target any country,” the report further mentioned Yesui as saying.
