China to US: 'Market has spoken' after tariffs spur selloff
BEIJING, April 5 (Reuters) - China said on Saturday "the market has spoken" in rejecting U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs, and called on Washington for "equal-footed consultation" after global markets plunged in reaction to the trade levies that drew Chinese retaliation.
State-run Xinhua news agency also published the Chinese government's stance, saying the U.S. should "stop using tariffs as a weapon to suppress China's economy and trade".
