China wants to “join hands” with Australia to fight back against US President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
While Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese ruled out retaliation when the US slapped 10 per cent tariffs on us, China’s retaliation attempts have resulted in 125 per cent tariffs on the country.
In an opinion piece for the Sydney Morning Herald, the ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to Australia Xiao Qian said the only way to stop the US’ “bullying behaviour” was for the whole world to “jointly resist”.
“The international community, including China and Australia, should firmly say no to unilateralism and protectionism, join hands to defend the multilateral trading system, safeguard a fair and free trading environment and promote the development of economic globalisation in the direction of greater openness, inclusiveness, universality and balance,” he wrote.
