INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
imposition of tariffs over fentanyl on China has actually badly undermined bilateral anti-drug dialogue and cooperation, a Chinese Foreign
Ministry representative said on Tuesday.Spokesperson Lin Jian made the remarks at a regular press instruction in response to an associated
query.Lin stated China has actually consistently stated that fentanyl is an issue for the United States, not China, and the duty lies with
the United States itself.The U.S
side, ignoring Chinas goodwill, has imposed unreasonable tariffs over fentanyl, which has undermined bilateral anti-drug dialogue and
cooperation, and harmed Chinas interests, Lin added.He noted that the U.S
needs to stop smearing and shifting blame, and if it really wishes to work together with China, it must take part in discussion based on
equality, regard and shared benefit.
