Xi Jinping: US-China trade war will produce no winners

Countries which embrace protectionism are "doomed to failure", China's Xi Jinping has warned in a veiled swipe at the US's America First policy.
Mr Xi was speaking at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) summit, where US-Chinese tensions are likely to be centre stage.
US Vice-President Mike Pence later said he was prepared to "more than double" the tariffs imposed on Chinese goods.
The two countries have been engaged in a tit-for-tat trade war this year.
The White House says its tariffs are a response to China's "unfair" trade policies.
Both sides have said the tariffs, already totalling billions of dollars, can still be increased.
However, Mr Xi appeared to warn against any further escalation of tensions between the two countries.
"History has shown that confrontation, whether in the form of a cold war, a hot war or a trade war, will produce no winners," he told leaders gathered in Papua New Guinea's capital, Port Moresby, for the summit.
"Attempts to erect barriers and cut close economic ties work against the laws of economics and the trends of history.
"This is a short-sighted approach and it is doomed to failure," he added, warning that those who close their doors "will only cut himself off from the rest of the world and lose his direction".
But Mr Pence - who spoke at the forum directly after Mr Xi - said the tariffs were a response to the "imbalance" with China.
"The United States, though, will not change course until China changes its ways," he said.
However, he said a number of key issues had not been included on a list for negotiation ahead of next month's G20 summit in Argentina, meaning it was "not acceptable" yet to the president.
The president has made similar comments previously.

We’ll Ensure That New Naira Notes Circulate Nationwide – Central Bank Appeals To Nigerians

We’ll Ensure That New Naira Notes Circulate Nationwide – Central Bank Appeals To Nigeria The Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, has said the report claimed to be quoting CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele as attributing the current challenge in the distribution of the newly redesigned Naira banknotes to a shortage of printing materials is false. In a statement issued on Saturday, CBN spokesman, Osita Nwasinobi, said the CBN governor did not make such statement during his presentation to the National Council of State at its meeting on Friday, February 10, 2023. Mr Nwasinobi said Emefiele only told the meeting that the NSPMC was working on printing all denominations of the Naira to meet the transaction needs of Nigerians. He said while the CBN appreciates the concerns shown by all stakeholders about the distribution of the new Naira notes, “We are alarmed at the extent to which vested interests are attempting to manipulate facts and pitch the public against the Bank.” Nwasinobi said the CBN remain...

Award for man of the month

V ictor Lindelof has been reflecting on a good month for him personally after claiming Manchester United's Player of the Month award for the first time. The defender came out on top in a tight battle in the November poll, conducted exclusively on the Official App. He received 44 per cent of the final vote, while David De Gea was second with 30 per cent and October’s winner Anthony Martial was a close third with 26 per cent. November proved to be a mixed month for the 24-year-old, who was in magnificent form after forging a solid partnership with Chris Smalling at the heart of the Reds defence. He was also named the Swedish Player of the Year at a special ceremony in his homeland and scored for his country in their UEFA Nations League win over Russia. However, Victor later suffered an unfortunate injury in last weekend’s goalless draw against Crystal Palace, when he played through the pain in the latter stages of the game. Jose Mourinho praised his bravery and later confirmed th...
