BEIJING, July 11 (Xinhua) — Tariffs should not be used as a tool to coerce or intimidate other countries, or to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said Friday.

The diplomat thus commented at the latest departmental press conference, at the request of journalists, on the information that the United States recently announced the introduction of duties of up to 50 percent on goods from Brazil from August 1, condemning Brazil for “injustice” in trade with the United States and demanding that Brazil immediately stop political “persecution” within the country.

“Sovereign equality and non-interference in internal affairs are important principles of the UN Charter and fundamental norms governing international relations,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry representative emphasized. -0-
