China's foreign minister has hit out at the "extreme selfishness" of tariffs, hinting at the steep levies imposed on Beijing by US President Donald Trump.
"Certain countries" resort to "pressure and coercion, and trigger unjustified trade wars ... This extreme selfishness only harms their credibility", top diplomat Wang Yi told his Uzbek counterpart Bakhtiyor Saidov, according to a ministry statement released on Saturday (Apr 26). This will "only undermine their credibility", added Wang, who was speaking on Friday on the sidelines of a foreign ministers' meeting in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
The foreign minister also said that Beijing would seek solidarity with other countries on the tariff situation and expose "extreme egoism" and the bullying of certain countries.

If China is so superior and independent, why should it care about others’ selfishness and egos?
China is extreme selfish.
Their only interest is to build world empire run by CCP.
But, they are patient.
China’s predatory “Belt and Road Initiative” anyone?
China has 3.7M square miles of territory.
Taiwan has 13.9K square miles of territory.
Yet China wants it all. Selfish?
So benevolent they have to send their spies here in the thousands to infiltrate schools and government and steal American ideas.
The most predatory trading nation on the planet says what?
There is a way to reduce these tariffs, you know. First recognize that this is a negotiation, and not a venue for name-calling and invective. Next, be willing to offer something in exchange for an agreement to scale back the rather harsh application of these tariffs.
Like, enforce some internal regulation on the producers of dangerous or deadly materials that find their way into international commerce. Prepare to offer reasonable and rational compensation for the use of intellectual property as applied to your own manufacturing practices. Do not dodge behind the facade of “emerging nation” when it comes to enactment of internal policies in regards to business practices and a favorable trade policy.
The internal policies of any government, when dealing with international trade, should not be used to subsidize production or artificially contrive to restrain trade if a fair and open trade agreement is what is expected. Remember, nobody cheats an honest man.
Trump should squint and say-“ me so sowwy!!!”
This is like Bonnie and Clyde complaining about bank robbers.
As opposed to the “selflessness” of stealing all the IP they can get their hands on?
