China’s top diplomat has warned that the country will respond firmly to any further unilateral US sanctions, branding such moves as “bullying”. Wang Yi made the comments in his first major public remarks since US President Donald Trump launched a new trade conflict. Despite this, Foreign Minister Wang Yi reiterated that US-China relations have a future, suggesting that China is seeking to de-escalate tensions with the US. The warning comes amid a growing trade dispute between the two nations, with the US imposing tariffs on Chinese goods in response to Beijing’s alleged unfair trade practices.
