China tells U.N.: "Tariffs, trade disputes could plunge world into recession"

UNITED NATIONS (Sept 27) - China’s top diplomat said on Friday that tariffs and trade disputes could plunge the world into recession and Beijing was committed to resolving them in a “calm, rational and cooperative manner.”

In speech to the annual United Nations General Assembly, State Councillor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said: “Erecting walls will not resolve global challenges, and blaming others for one’s own problems does not work. The lessons of the Great Depression should not be forgotten.”
