A front page article in China’s official People’s Daily newspaper said that the country is not afraid of “extreme measures” of the US regarding trade war. The article urged that “to deal with the trade war, what China really should do is to focus on doing its own thing well.” It also said China should use the situation “as an opportunity to replace imports, promote localization or develop export-oriented advanced manufacturing.”
Another official news paper China Daily also said “the trade conflict will not force China to succumb to US pressure. Instead, given its economic resilience, it will squarely face those challenges, find the right solutions, and emerge stronger.”
