Bulning to a bullet is like drinking poison to thirst, just aggravate the crisis, “the China Foreign Ministry video
In an unprecedented attack on US President Donald Trump, China posted a sharp video on social media, calling on the international community to resist America’s “bully” and reporting “China will not kneel”.

“Bulning to a bully is like drinking poison to thirst, just aggravate the crisis,” says China’s video, which is in English and subtitles in Chinese. “History has shown that compromise does not guarantee you mercy, kneeling causes more intimidation. China will not kneel. “
The video narrates a “history lesson” for what China considers to be American financial aggression, referring to companies such as Toshiba and Alstom, which, according to the narrative, the US has forced disintegration, economic crisis and bankruptcy, leading the Japanese economy to “anemia”.
Contrarying this image, China is present as a “free trade paradise” with which other countries can invest and cooperate safely.
“China will remain firm, no matter how loud the wind blows,” the video said. “Someone has to move forward, holding the torch, to break up the fog and brighten the way.”
The video is a message to the Trump government after the historical escalation of the trade war, as well as a call for action towards other countries. China in the video called on every country to “stand up” to “break the walls of hegemony”.
The video does not directly refer to the 145% duties imposed by the Trump government on Chinese imports – nor on the 125% reciprocal duties that China has imposed on US products. However, his publication on social media coincides with a seemingly mood of China to bend the tension on the part of the Trump government.
Trump recently said he expects duties to be reduced to Chinese products, while Finance Minister Scott Bessed described the excessively high duties “unsustainable”. However, Trump stressed that China would have to submit a strong proposal to make progress, and while reporting that the two countries are in constant communication, Beijing continues to deny that there are active negotiations.
Meanwhile, America’s trade talks are in full swing with many other countries. Bessed said he was in active negotiations with 17 countries during the 90 -day “freezing” of excessively high “reciprocal duties”, which in some cases reach 50% in dozens of countries.
China calls on the rest of the states to remain steady and not ally with the United States instead of China.
“We know that by defending ourselves, we keep the prospect of cooperation alive,” the video says. “China will not retreat to hear the voices of the weak, to stop bullying and not to disappear from the world.”
The central message of the video: America is unreliable.
In the video, China calls the United States “paper tiger”, noting that US imports and exports are less than one -fifth of world trade and that the US “does not represent the whole world”.
“When the rest of the world stands together, the US will be just a small, isolated boat,” the video concludes. “Be sure: The US will continue to change their attitude and play hard.”
