Shen Shiwei Interviewed by the Wall Street Journal on China Fights Back to U.S. Tariffs War
The U.S. is building walls and China is building bridges, said Shen Shiwei, founder of the China Briefing newsletter.
"Most countries today have China, not the U.S., as their biggest trade partner. The U.S. is building walls and China is building bridges,” said Shen Shiwei, founder of the China Briefing newsletter to the Wall Street Journal.
Unlike Washington, China isn’t asking countries to choose their camp. “No country is stupid. They are always hedging. The idea that countries have to pick sides between China and the U.S. is totally wrong, it will never happen,” said retired People’s Liberation Army senior colonel Zhou Bo, a senior fellow at Tsinghua University in Beijing. “People nowadays are picking sides by issues, not by countries.”
As the WSJ report says, imposition of new tariffs on nearly every country adds to concerns in Europe and Asia about relying on America.
