A question a Western media outlet threw at Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning in a recent news conference clearly indicates how some in the West underestimate China's resolve to safeguard its core interest in the tariff war the US administration is waging against it.
"We have sources telling us that Chinese officials are having difficulty getting guidance from the US side on how to stop President Trump from increasing tariffs. Can I get a reaction from you?" she was asked.
Although China remains open to work together with the United States to resolve their trade disputes through negotiations, it has never implored the US side for any "guidance" as to how it can lessen the latter's tariff blows.
