Trump Trade War Backfires as China Checkmates Him
China is fully prepared to fight to the very end because the world is big enough that the United States is not the totality of the market in the world. So if the United States wants to go in that direction of completely shutting itself out of the China market, be my guest.

We don't care. We don't care. China has been here for 5,000 years. Most of the time, there was no United States, and we survived. And if the United States wants to bully China... We will deal with the situation without the United States. And we expect to survive for another 5,000 years.

China will never do that. And that is the most demeaning thing for a president of a country to say about his counterparts in other countries. Therefore, I think President Trump should really learn how to be a better president for the United States.

launched by the United States against the rest of the world, the United States is doing the wrong thing.

Regardless of what EU or Europe will do, China will continue to do the right thing, that is to stand up firm and to strike back at the wrongful deeds of global warfare using tariffs as a weapon against so many other countries.
