The United States demands its allies to impose tariffs on China under the pretext of Chinese imports of Russian oil, Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Coercion and pressure are unpopular

On September 15th, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian hosted a regular press conference. A reporter asked about the recent request from the U.S. to the G7 and NATO member countries to collectively impose tariffs on China, citing China's imports of Russian oil, and to encourage China to play a role in ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict. What is China's comment on this?

Lin Jian stated that China's normal economic and energy cooperation with countries around the world, including Russia, is legitimate and beyond reproach. The U.S. approach is a typical example of unilateral bullying and economic coercion, which seriously undermines international economic and trade rules and threatens the safety and stability of global industrial and supply chains
