Ammon News - Chinese Trade Minister Wang Wentao said the continuous introduction of tariffs by the US will cause great harm to the developing world and may even trigger a humanitarian crisis.

China’s “decisive countermeasures” are to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests, and to also uphold fairness and justice in the international community, Wang told Ngozi Okonjo, director-general of the World Trade Organization, in a video call on Friday.

WTO members should unite to counter unilateralism, protectionism, and bullying practices with open cooperation and multilateralism, Wang was cited as saying in a Ministry of Commerce statement on Saturday. Least developed countries face some of the greatest risks from the US tariffs, he said. Bloomberg
