  • “The United States has unilaterally and repeatedly provoked new economic and trade frictions, exacerbating uncertainty and instability in bilateral economic and trade relations,” the statement said. “Instead of reflecting on its own actions, the United States has groundlessly accused China of violating the consensus, a claim that grossly distorts the facts.”

    That is such a wonderfully diplomatic way of saying “stop being a fucking idiot, your words have meaning and these are the consequences. Grow up”.
    Even just “grow up”, tbh.

    As much as I dislike the amount of reliance the world has on China (for the labour conditions there, the nature of their government to impose dodgy practices, generally speaking not being a “good egg”), China seems like the only trading bloc (although not a bloc, I guess… Maybe “trading entity”) that can unilaterally stand toe-to-toe with TACO and win. So, good on china.
