Tariff war: China threatened to retaliate against countries striking trade deals with US at its expense

Amid tariff war with Donald Trump, China on Monday threatened to impose countermeasures on countries seeking to strike trade deals with the US at its expense in order to get American tariff exemptions. In a pre-emptive move to stall a host of nations with whom China has trade ties from striking exclusive trade deals with the US to get tariff exemptions, the Commerce Ministry spokesperson warned that Beijing will firmly oppose such agreements.
