The Chinese Embassy in the US has come out to respond to the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration over the fentanyl issue. The embassy recently had its say via a press statement, and the world has been reacting.
According to them, the US should engage in equal consultation with China to address the matter, else, if they keep wanting war, China is ready to fight till the end.
The Chinese foreign ministry then dismissed the fentanyl issue as a justification for tariff increases on Chinese imports because the US itself is responsible for the fentanyl crisis.
It read, “If the US truly wants to solve the fentanyl issue, then the right thing to do is to consult with China by treating each other as equals. If war is what the US wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war, or any other type of war, we’re ready to fight till the end.
The US, not anyone else, is responsible for the fentanyl crisis. In the spirit of humanity and goodwill towards the American people, we have taken robust steps to assist the US in dealing with the issue. Instead of recognising our efforts, the US has sought to smear and shift blame to China and is seeking to pressure and blackmail China with tariff hikes. They’ve been PUNISHING us for helping them. This is not going to solve the US’s problem and will undermine our counternarcotics dialogue and cooperation.”
Recall that Donald Trump recently accused the top three U.S. trading partners of not doing enough to curb the flow of fentanyl and its precursor chemicals into the country.
WOW.
