Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun

Asked to comment on the US' threat of 50 percent tariffs against Brazil on August 1, a move seen as "setting example" to others in Latin America and BRICS, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun on Monday stressed that tariff wars have no winners, and unilateral practices serve no one's interests.

"China stands ready to work with Brazil, and other Latin American and Caribbean countries and BRICS countries to jointly uphold the WTO-centered multilateral trading system and international fairness and justice," Guo said at a regular press briefing.

In response to a question about what Brazil can expect from China and BRICS in terms of opening markets to products like airplanes, Guo reaffirmed that China attaches importance to its result-oriented cooperation with Brazil, including cooperation on aviation.

"We stand ready to promote relevant cooperation based on market principles and give a boost to respective national development," Guo said.
