Following the successful talks between the Trump administration and Chinese officials, China’s President, Xi Jinping, released a statement praising the tariff rollbacks following what he called “U.S. bullying.”
Speaking today at a summit in Beijing with Latin American and Caribbean officials, Xi said, “There are no winners in tariff wars or trade wars. Bullying or hegemonism only leads to self-isolation.”
Xi called for “solidarity” between China, Latin America, and the Caribbean, a trade region that has grown to a value of $500 billion.
Xi stated, “China and Latin American and Caribbean countries are important members of the Global South. Independence and autonomy are our glorious tradition. Development and revitalization are our inherent right. And fairness and justness are our common pursuit.”
“In the face of seething undercurrents of geopolitical and bloc confrontation, and the surging tide of unilateralism and protectionism, China stands ready to join hands with our Latin American and Caribbean partners,” he concluded.
