Chinese Ambassador Criticizes US Trade Policy in Danish Media

On April 29, 2025, Chinese Ambassador to Denmark Wang Xuefeng (王雪峰) published an op-ed in Denmark’s Arbejderen (工人日報) titled “Tariff Blackmail Harms Others and Oneself, Open Cooperation is the Right Path.” The ambassador criticized US tariff policies as “economic bullying behavior” and claimed China would “resolutely oppose and fight to the end” against American trade measures. Wang positioned China as defending “international rules and multilateral trading systems” while describing US actions as “unilateral protectionism.” The article promoted China-Denmark economic cooperation, citing bilateral trade reaching “15.7 billion dollars in 2024, up 17 percent year-on-year,” and called for strengthening “communication and coordination” with the EU to achieve “mutual benefit and win-win cooperation” (互利共赢), employing standard PRC diplomatic terminology.
