“There is no winner in a tariff war,” Chinese President Xi Jinping told Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, just as Beijing announced additional tariffs on products imported from the United States.
From the Chinese capital, Xi extended an invitation of collaboration to the European Union, declaring that both sides must join forces to defend globalisation and oppose what he called “unilateral acts of bullying”.
Recognising the economic strength of China and the EU, Xi said the two sides have come to create a close relationship of “economic symbiosis”, as supporters of economic globalisation and free trade.
Spanish Prime Minister Sánchez depicted China as an important partner of the EU, stressing that his country had always favoured a stable development of EU-China relations.
