China's top diplomat Wang Yi shook up discussions at the sixth China-Central Asia Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Almaty, Kazakhstan, calling China’s counter-tariff measures a "necessary" step to protect its rights and promote fairness and justice in global trade. 🌏
Wang Yi criticized the unilateral tariff policy introduced by Trump's administration, highlighting that it breaches World Trade Organization rules and disrupts the rules-based multilateral trading system. This move, he stressed, undermines stability in the global economy—a concern that resonates with young professionals and tech-savvy audiences across South and Southeast Asia, from bustling digital hubs in Mumbai to innovative startups in Ho Chi Minh City.
Reaffirming China's commitment as the world’s second-largest economy and a responsible major nation, Wang Yi promised that China will continue its high-level opening up and shared development approach, ensuring opportunities for its neighbors and the broader global community no matter how international trends evolve. 👍
