US Trade Disputes China: China Pushes Anti-‘Bullying’ Agenda Amid Tensions with US
China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi has warned Global South nations that “unilateral bullying” is undermining a rules-based world, amid escalating tensions with the United States. Wang made these comments at a roundtable of developing country diplomats and scholars, emphasizing that power politics and unilateral bullying are creating divisions and confrontations globally.
Background of US-China Tensions
The tensions between the US and China have been fueled by President Donald Trump’s “reciprocal” tariffs on many US trading partners, with China taking the biggest hit. Despite postponing levies on many countries for 90 days, Trump has maintained 145% tariffs on Chinese imports, prompting Beijing to retaliate with duties on US goods.

China’s Diplomatic Efforts
China has taken a lead role in lobbying other countries to resist Trump’s tariffs, with President Xi Jinping urging Vietnam and Cambodia to oppose “unilateral bullying” during a recent visit to Southeast Asia. China is also planning an informal United Nations Security Council meeting to criticize the US for imposing tariffs, specifically targeting the US for its bullying tactics.
Upcoming UN Meeting
The UN meeting, scheduled for April 23 in New York, aims to bring attention to the issue of unilateral bullying, with China inviting all 193 UN member states to attend. This move is seen as a strategic effort by China to rally international support against US trade policies.
Potential De-escalation
Meanwhile, Trump has signaled a potential end to the tit-for-tat tariff hikes between the US and China, stating that people might not want to buy goods at a certain price point. This comment has sparked hopes of a possible de-escalation in trade tensions between the two nations.
