China accused the United States of “unilateral bullying” in calling on allies, opens new tab to impose tariffs on China over its purchase of Russian oil, fueling tensions as Chinese and U.S officials meet in Spain to try to resolve trade disputes.
China opposes Washington’s request that the Group of Seven and NATO countries impose secondary tariffs on Chinese imports over its purchase of Russian oil, China’s commerce ministry said on Monday, calling it “a classic example of unilateral bullying and economic coercion”.
