May 15 2024: China has condemned the U.S. decision to increase tariffs on Chinese goods, labeling it as “typical bullying” and suggesting that it indicates a loss of rationality among some American officials.
“The U.S.’s suppression of China does not prove that the U.S. is strong, but rather exposes that the U.S. has lost its self-confidence and is out of order,” said Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, as reported by state broadcaster CCTV.
