BEIJING: China opposes any country undermining the international economic and trade order through rules imposed by small groups, the Chinese foreign ministry said on Thursday, after the United States unveiled plans for a preferential trade bloc of allies for critical minerals.

Trump says he thinks China can open its markets to US goods

“Maintaining an open, inclusive, and universally beneficial international trade environment is in the common interest of all countries,” ministry spokesperson Lin Jian told a regular press briefing.
