Chinese Ambassador to the US: China will fight back
“Let me assure those people who intend to fight a trade war. We will certainly fight back. We will retaliate.
“If people want to play tough, we will play tough with them, and see who will last longer,” he said, in response to US President Trump’s signing of a memorandum on Thursday authorising punitive annual tariffs of up to US$60 billion on Chinese exports under a Section 301 case on Chinese intellectual property policies and practices.
