Beijing will "resolutely counter" U.S. pressure on tariffs and the fentanyl issue, China's foreign minister said on March. 7, adding that major powers "should not bully the weak", in a veiled swipe at the Trump administration's foreign policy.
Top diplomat Wang Yi also presented China as a reliable global power in the midst of geopolitical turmoil and U.S. President Donald Trump's withdrawal from international institutions, part of a clear appeal from Beijing to Europe and countries in the Global South.
