Give the bully an inch, he'll take a mile: China envoy amid tariff war

NEW DELHI: “Give the bully an inch, he will take a mile,” wrote Chinese ambassador Xu Feihong in a post on X, a day after US President Donald Trump slapped an additional 25% tariff on India for its trade with Russia. The remark was seen by some as expressing solidarity with countries like India and Brazil, at the receiving end of Trump’s trade war.Xu’s post also tagged Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi’s remarks, after his talks with the Brazilian president’s chief advisor Celso Amorim, that using tariffs as a weapon to suppress other countries violates the UN Charter, undermines WTO rules and is both unpopular and unsustainable.Amid the trade standoff with the US, PM Narendra Modi is likely to visit China this month for the SCO summit where he will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping and also Russian President Vladimir Putin.
