Investing.com -- Chinese Premier Li Qiang has written to Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, expressing the need for a unified response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff measures. The letter was delivered through the Chinese embassy in Japan, as reported by Japan’s Kyodo news agency on Tuesday.
In his letter, Li Qiang emphasized the importance of standing together against protectionism, according to multiple Japanese government officials cited by Kyodo. The foreign ministries of both China and Japan have yet to comment on the matter.
On Monday, Beijing cautioned nations against entering extensive economic agreements with the United States that could negatively affect China. This comes as part of the escalating trade conflict between the world’s two largest economies.
Japan, a close ally of Washington, was one of many countries affected by Trump’s comprehensive tariffs implemented earlier this month. In response, Japan has initiated talks with the United States in an attempt to resolve the tariff issue.
In recent years, the relationship between Beijing and Tokyo has been tense due to various factors, including territorial disputes and trade frictions.
