Chinese Ambassador to India Xu Feihong sharply criticized US President Donald Trump’s decision to impose a 50% tariff on Indian goods, calling it economic coercion. In a post on X, Xu wrote, “Give the bully an inch, he will take a mile,” without naming Trump directly. He argued that using tariffs as a weapon violates the UN Charter and undermines WTO rules. China condemned the move as hostile and unsustainable, citing a recent exchange between Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Brazilian advisor Celso Amorim. The statement aligns China with India and Brazil, both targeted by Trump’s tariff hike over Russian oil imports. The diplomatic backlash signals rising global resistance to unilateral US trade actions. (PC: Facebook & India Today)
