  • Summary: After U.S. solar tariff, China calls protectionism a double-edged sword BEIJING, CHINA (FILE - JANUARY 24, 2018) (REUTERS) (SOUNDBITE) (Mandarin) CHINA'S FOREIGN MINISTRY SPOKESWOMAN, HUA CHUNYING, SAYING: "Trade protectionism is a double-edged sword, which not only wounds others but wounds themselves at the same time. I don't know if the so-called 'legendary and invulnerable soft gold-silk armour' does exist in this world and can enable a country to wield a big stick of trade protectionism over other countries without being scathed."

    Donald Trump assumed the office of the President of the United States with a pledge to "make America great again."
    Half-way through his first term, Trump claims that task has been accomplished, telling audiences at any of his frequent political pep rallies that "our country is respected again all over the world".
    But, in the arena of U.S. foreign policy, whether Trump has engineered a solidification of America's position in the world, or whether he has weakened America's status as the pre-eminent global economic, military, and moral force, is a question that is sharply debated within America's fractious politics.
    Few dispute, however, that whatever Donald Trump is doing in his foreign policy, it is unlike the way any previous U.S. president operated on the global stage.
