In the ongoing trade fight between China and the US, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Mao Ning, said that China will not be scared or back down from challenges. To make her point, she shared an old video of former Chinese leader Mao Zedong from 1953, during a time of war with the US. In the video, Mao Zedong says that it is not for China to decide how long the war will go on. Instead, it is up to the US presidents. He also claimed that no matter how long it takes, China will never give up and will keep fighting until they win.
Recently, US President Donald Trump announced that tariffs on Chinese goods are going up by 125%. This decision came after China decided to raise its tariffs on American products from 34% to 84% starting on April 10. This back-and-forth started when the US first raised tariffs to 104%. Trump had even warned of more increases following China’s earlier move. China’s government called the US tariffs unfair and claimed they were just a form of bullying.
