China hit back at the US after President Donald Trump called for 50–100% tariffs on Beijing over its close ties with Russia, saying it does not engage in or plan wars, but instead promotes peace talks and seeks political solutions.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi made the comments during a press conference in Ljubljana on Saturday, following his meeting with Slovenia’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign and European Affairs, Tanja Fajon, according to China Daily.
“China does not participate in or plan wars, and what China does is to encourage peace talks and promote political settlement of hotspot issues through dialogue”, Wang Yi said.
