Chinese Ambassador to India Xu Feihong condemned the U.S. for imposing steep tariffs on India, calling Washington a “bully” exploiting trade as a bargaining chip. He criticized the 50% tariffs and additional penalties linked to India’s Russian oil and arms purchases, warning that silence only empowers such tactics. Amid strained U.S.-India trade ties, Xu urged stronger India-China cooperation, praising both nations as “double engines” of Asian growth. He invited Indian enterprises to invest in China and called for fair treatment of Chinese firms in India. Xu affirmed China’s support for multilateral trade under the WTO and expressed optimism about PM Modi’s upcoming visit to China for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit.(PC: BBC)
