BEIJING (AP) 鈥� China on Monday accused the U.S. of unilateralism, protectionism and economic bullying with tariffs.

鈥淧utting the U.S. first over international rules is a typical act of unilateralism, protectionism and economic bullying,鈥� Foreign Affairs spokesperson Lin Jian told reporters.

Trump announced sweeping tariffs last week and China and other governments retaliated quickly.

Lin said the new tariffs harmed the stability of global production and supply chain and seriously impacted the world’s economic recovery.
