Prime Minister Lee Ten, who is responsible for the Chinese economy under the leader Xi Jinping, said on Sunday the leaders of Foreign Affairs who gathered in Beijing that uncertainty and instability are growing, but China will choose the “right way” of globalization and multilateral.

“We have preparation for possible unexpected turmoil, which are certainly mostly descended from external sources,” Lee said.

Expected “Mutual tariffs” In the countries of the world.

The Chinese Prime Minister’s fuel tone comes when Beijing tries to improve consumers and investors, as well as preparing potential retaliations against future tariffs and sanctions.

Since the Trump’s entry office has already struck 20 percent The tariffs for goods from China, during the White House, says it is designed to pressure Beijing to hack companies that make the Fentanyl ingredients, sometimes a deadly synthetic opioid that caused drug epidemic in the US.

Since the United States and China, there has been very few higher level negotiations after Trump has taken over, banning one phone call between President and President Xi Jinping.

Trump last week said si came to the USA in “Not too far the future”, But people familiar with conversations in Washington and Beijing said there was no discussion on the SI trip to America.

Later, on Sunday, Lee will meet with Steve Dins, a republican Senator from Montana, who is very close to Trump. Dainins, who previously worked in China on a business, met with Vice Premier -Heard, at a rare meeting between senior US legislator and top Chinese officials.

The Dainins office said he used his meeting with him to repeat Trump’s call to stop the flow of chemicals used to make Fentonil. It adds that the senator “hoped that there will be further talks between the US and China in the near future.”
