At today's press briefing, the Foreign Minister touched upon trade frictions between China and the US. He said a trade war never helps any side.

WANG YI CHINESE FOREIGN MINISTER "I would like to say that history has taught us that trade wars are never the solution. In a globalized world, choosing a trade war is the wrong prescription. As a result, it will only hurt both sides, and China will surely make a justified and necessary response. As the world's largest two economies, China's and America's interests are deeply interwoven. We hope the two sides can sit down calmly and find a win-win solution through equal and constructive dialogue."
