China strongly opposes any country making trade deals that undermine its interests, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday.
Spokesperson He Yongqian responded to media inquiries regarding the recent trade agreement between the United States and Vietnam, noting that China is currently assessing the situation.
He described the U.S. imposition of "reciprocal tariffs" on trade partners as a form of unilateral bullying, a practice China consistently opposes.
The spokesperson emphasized that China supports efforts by other nations to resolve trade disputes with the U.S. through equal-footing consultations but firmly rejects any agreements made at China's expense.
She warned that if such situations occur, China will take decisive countermeasures to defend its legitimate rights and interests.
