China’s foreign minister King said on Friday that Beijing supported international rules regarding tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump, and that US taxation indicates “extreme egoism.”
The Foreign Minister made comments for the meeting of Asian Foreign Ministers in Central China, where he was in Kazakhstan.
The King emphasized that Beijing opposes protectionism amid the trade war with the United States caused by Trump’s tariffs on China and many other countries.

China has previously denounced other countries as “bullying” through the trade war, including earlier this week at the UN Security Council’s Alia Formala conference on “unilateral practices and the impact of bullying practices on international relations.”
