We are Chinese, not afraid of provocations: Chinese Foreign Ministry shares old video of Mao Zedong

Amidst escalating trade tensions between China and the US, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson asserted China's resilience, stating they "are not afraid of provocations, and it won't back down." This declaration followed retaliatory tariff increases by both nations, with China raising tariffs on US goods to 84 per cent after the US hiked tariffs on Chinese products.
