New Delhi: “Give an inch to threatening, he will take a mile,” Chinese Ambassador Joo Fihong wrote in a post on X, a day later when US President Donald Trump slapped an additional 25% tariff on India for his business with Russia. At the end of Trump’s trade war, comments were seen by some people as expressing solidarity with countries such as India and Brazil.The post of Xu also tagged Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s remarks after her conversation with Seo Amorim, the Chief Advisor to the President of Brazil, that using tariffs as a weapon to suppress other countries violates the United Nations charter, reduces the WTO rules and is unlit and unstable.Amidst the trade deadlock with the US, PM Narendra Modi is likely to visit China for the SCO summit this month, where he will also meet Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
