China adopts newly aggressive approach in controlling narrative on trade dispute with the U.S. The harder line comes after days of muted official responses to President Trump's decision to hike tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese imports.
A social media post exhorting Chinese consumers to buy more tilapia to offset the effects of China's ongoing economic dispute with the United States is seen on a computer screen in Beijing, Wednesday, May 15, 2019. What do tilapia, Jane Austen and revolutionary posters have in common? All have been used in recent days to rally public support around China's position in its trade dispute with the U.S.
President Xi Jinping, the ruling party’s most powerful leader in decades, has made China’s foreign policy more assertive while nurturing the growth of a red-blooded but tightly controlled nationalism. Internet users shared patriotic memes expressing confidence in China’s economy and contempt for the U.S. The commentary echoes earlier times when the U.S. and China were adversaries in the Korean War and for decades afterward.
A number of Chinese exporters contacted by The Associated Press refused to comment on the record because they fear government retribution. “China is keen to project calm,” he said. “The last thing it needs or wants is to whip up popular anger, which can turn quickly,” sometimes in ways that the party can neither predict nor control.
