（ECNS）--China's foreign policy has always drawn global attention. In the latest China Q&A, Denis Simon, a visiting professor in the Asian Pacific Studies Institute of Duke University, wonders about the potential long-term impacts of the Trump administration'stariff policies on the global trade system and China's response.

Jia Qingguo, a member of the 14th CPPCC National Committee Standing Committee and professor of Peking University, answered his question.

Jia said Trump's tariff-driven approach would prove counterproductive, potentially harming both U.S. long-term interests and the global economic order. He emphasized that China should maintain open communication with the U.S. while firmly protecting its legitimate interests. (Chen Caixia, Chen Tianhao)
