Xi says China, EU must unite to 'oppose unilateral bullying' by US
Beijing(PTI): Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday called on the EU to join Beijing in opposing "bullying" from the US, saying "there are no winners in a tariff war".
"China and the EU are firm supporters of economic globalisation and free trade," Xi said during a meeting with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez here.
"There is no winner in a tariff war," Xi said, calling on China and the EU to jointly resist "unilateral bullying".
Xi was referring to the US's sweeping global tariffs.
China on Friday raised its additional tariffs on imports from the US to 125 per cent in retaliation to the Trump administration's 145 per cent levies on Chinese exports.
The Chinese Commerce Ministry here said China raised additional tariffs to 125 per cent on imported US products, raising the levies from the previous 84 per cent.

Mysuru Central Prison warder suspended over 'abusive' video against CM Siddaramaiah
Mysuru (Karnataka), May 6 (PTI): A warder at Mysuru Central Prison was suspended after he allegedly recorded a video abusing Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and circulated it on social media, jail officials said on Tuesday.
The warder, H N Madhu Kumar (45), an ex-Army man, has been serving in the prison department for the past four years, they said.
According to officials, in a video recorded at his residence, which has now gone viral on social media, Kumar targeted the chief minister and condemned his angry gesture towards a police officer on stage during a programme in Belagavi on April 28.
Citing a preliminary inquiry, Superintendent of Mysuru Central Prison B S Ramesh told PTI that the warder was suspended from duty on Monday evening for misconduct as soon as the matter came to light.
In the video, recorded on April 28, Kumar criticised the chief minister on several issues, highlighted the MUDA land allotment scam allegedly involving Siddaramaiah's wife, and claimed that law and order had collapsed in the CM’s home district, Mysuru.
