The WTO report points out the harm of protectionism, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: China is an important contributor to open trade

On September 12, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning held a regular press conference. Mao Ning said, I have also taken note of the WTO report, which also pointed out that increasing protectionism will damage the growth prospects of all economies, and poor and economically marginalized countries will be hardest hit. Mao Ning said that we have always firmly opposed trade protectionism. At the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, we announced the unilateral expansion of market opening and granted 100% zero-tariff treatment to African least developed countries, becoming the first major developing country and the world's major economy to implement this measure.
