Chinese Ambassador to India Xu Feihong condemned Washington’s decision to impose up to 50% tariffs on Indian goods, calling the US a “bully” that misuses tariffs as bargaining tools. Speaking in Delhi, Xu urged closer cooperation between India and China, describing them as “double engines” of Asian growth. His remarks follow US penalties tied to India’s purchase of Russian crude and weapons. Amid strained US–India trade ties, Beijing seeks warmer relations, with Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Xu stressing partnership over rivalry. Xu also invited Indian investment in China and pledged joint defense of WTO-led trade rules. (PC: X)
