China says it opposes tariffs being used as a tool of coercion by Trump

China has voiced its opposition to the use of tariffs as a coercive tool, responding to U.S. President Trump's threat of additional tariffs on countries aligning with the BRICS group. According to Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning, tariffs benefit no one. The BRICS bloc, initially comprising Brazil, Russia, India, and China, has expanded to include several other nations.
