China urges U.S. not taking trade relations to 'dangerous place'
(VOVWORLD) - China urged the United States to avoid taking trade relations to a “dangerous place”, said the Chinese commerce ministry in a statement on Friday, responding to planned U.S. tariffs following an intellectual property probe.
The commerce ministry said in a statement that China hopes the United States will pull back “from the brink”, and be prudent in its decisions, adding that it resolutely opposes U.S. unilateralism and protectionism. China has made full preparations to defend its legitimate interests and it is not afraid of a trade war, although it would like to avoid one, the ministry said.
