China respects all parties resolving economic and trade differences with the United States through consultation on an equal footing, but it will firmly oppose any party striking a deal at China’s expense, its Commerce Ministry said on Monday.
China “will take countermeasures in a resolute and reciprocal manner” if any country sought such deals, a ministry spokesperson said, addressing news about the Trump administration preparing to pressure other countries to limit trade with China in exchange for tariff exemptions from the United States.
Except it’s Trump. He will never step down. He can’t admit he’s wrong on anything otherwise it’ll break his macho man persona of never being wrong and it’s not his fault.
The least admirable quality someone can have “I’m never wrong”
