FM lauds role of Beijing and Moscow in promoting multipolarity

If the United States persists in pressuring and blackmailing China over tariffs, "the Chinese side surely will be resolute in its countermeasures", Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Tuesday.

In an interview with the Russia Today international media group, Wang, who is visiting Russia and held talks on Tuesday in Moscow with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, responded to a number of questions on topics such as the China-US trade war, Russia-US interactions and the Ukraine crisis.

When asked about the trade war and whether China will impose further tariffs on commodities produced in the US, Wang said that "America First" should not lead to American bullying, nor should the US base its own interests on damaging the legitimate rights and interests of other countries.
