Asked to comment on the US' recent repeated claims that China cannot bear the pressure brought by the imposition of high tariffs, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Wednesday that no external shocks can change the fundamentals of China's economy, which has a stable foundation, many advantages, strong resilience and great potential, or change the solid momentum of China's solid progress in high-quality development.

China has strong ability to withstand pressure and sufficient measures to safeguard its own legitimate rights and interests. China is also willing to unite and coordinate with the international community to jointly resist unilateralism, protectionism and economic bullying, maintain the multilateral trading system, and defend international fairness and justice, Lin said.
