China opposes deal on US tariffs at expense of its interests

China reaffirmed its strong opposition on Monday to any agreement that compromises its interests, and emphasized its unwavering commitment to safeguarding the nation's legitimate entitlements, according to the Ministry of Commerce.

The ministry warned that no country can remain unaffected amid growing unilateralism and protectionism.

The remarks came in response to foreign media reports that during tariff negotiations, the administration of United States President Donald Trump intends to pressure other countries to restrict trade with China in exchange for exemptions from the US' additional tariffs.
