Trade wars - a Chinese perspective

Cui Tiankai: China Not Seeking Trade War, But Ready to Fight

China's top diplomat in the US insists Beijing is not seeking a trade war after the White House announced plans to slap higher duties on up to 60 billion US dollars worth of Chinese goods. In an interview with Tian Wei, Chinese Ambassador Cui Tiankai emphasized that a battle over tariffs was the least thing China wanted, but it is ready to go head-to-head with those who want to play tough.

Meanwhile the fake news channel CNN seems to think it is all over.
