China appears to be making a strategic decision to present itself as a global stalwart amid a world in turmoil.

Foreign Minister Wang Yi rarely gestured or moved his hands at his annual news conference on Friday .

China has long complained about U.S. tariffs, which in the first Trump administration set off a trade war between the world’s two biggest economies.

China responded to the new tariff on Tuesday by announcing targeted tariffs of up to 15% .

Premier Li Qiang , China ’s No. 2 official, did not mention Trump but noted rising unilateralism and protectionism around the world.

China is ready to work with other members of the international community to promote an equal and orderly multipolar world, he says.

China is counting on its trade relationships with other countries to help its export-dependent economy withstand Trump 's tariffs.

U.S. experts say the cost of the tariffs will be almost entirely passed on to American consumers and importers.
