China says US protectionism has not only harmed China's interests, but also the interests of other countries.
GENG SHUANG CHINESE FOREIGN MINISTRY SPOKESPERSON "By provoking a trade conflict with China, the US side has challenged multilateralism and free trade with its unilateralism and protectionism. The US actions are not only aimed at China, but also other countries. They do not just harm China's interests, but also the interests of other countries. In meetings with the Chinese side, leaders of related countries and heads of international organizations have clearly stated that unilateralism and protectionism are not the way to resolve trade disputes. International cooperation and multilateral coordination are the only way. The wrong practices of the US have created great concern in the international community. China will continue with its efforts to deepen reform and opening-up, safeguard the multilateral trade system, and promote liberalization and facilitation of global trade and investment."
