Beijing, 22 April (H.S.): China has issued a strong warning to countries against making trade deals with the United States that undermine its interests, intensifying the ongoing trade war between the two nations.

A spokesperson from China’s Ministry of Commerce criticized reports that the Trump administration is urging other countries to isolate China, stating that Beijing would respond with resolute and reciprocal measures against those cooperating with the US. This comes as nations seek exemptions from tariffs imposed by the US.

The ministry cautioned that pursuing short-term selfish interests at China's expense is akin to taking the skin of a tiger, implying that such nations would ultimately suffer consequences as well.
