Chinese Ambassador to India Xu Feihong criticized Donald Trump’s tariff policies, especially those targeting India and China. Reacting on X, Xu likened Trump to a bully, warning against appeasement. He also quoted Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who said using tariffs as weapons violates global trade norms. Trump's new tariffs on India followed failed trade talks and India’s continued purchase of Russian oil. Trump hinted at similar actions against China, escalating ongoing trade tensions.
