Chinese Ambassador to India, Xu Feihong, on Thursday criticized the United States for acting like a “bully.” He pointed out that while the US has always benefited from free trade, it is now using tariffs as a way to push for higher prices from other countries. Speaking at an event hosted by the independent think tank Chintan Research Foundation, he said, “China will stand firmly by India,” and noted that both nations are key drivers of economic growth in Asia.

China will stand with India to protect the global trading system.”He explained that the international system is changing a lot, so China and India, as major developing countries, should work together. “Our friendship helps Asia.
