Hey everyone! In a strong statement today, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Lin Jian, revealed that the U.S. tariffs on fentanyl are seriously disrupting anti-drug cooperation between the two sides. According to Lin, fentanyl is a problem for the U.S. and not for China, emphasizing that the responsibility lies with the U.S. itself. 😮
Lin Jian pointed out that these tariffs not only derail crucial dialogue on drug issues but also harm China’s interests by undermining efforts for mutual benefit. He urged the U.S. to stop shifting blame and to engage in discussions based on equality, respect, and mutual benefit—values that many of us appreciate in today's globalized world.
For young professionals and tech-savvy readers across South and Southeast Asia, this is a reminder that international policy decisions can ripple into areas beyond economics, affecting how nations work together on shared challenges. Whether you're into tech, global trends, or simply staying informed, it's clear that true progress calls for open, fair, and respectful dialogue.
Stay tuned for more updates and keep the conversation going!
