China has become more antagonistic in its remarks over its trade war with the United States.
The situation changed on Thursday when Beijing’s foreign ministry claimed that the US was now a “barbarian of the 21st century” as a result of the tariffs imposed by the Donald Trump administration.

Additionally, Jingrui asserted that America is fixated on extorting and intimidating the rest of the world.
