China says on 'right side of history' in trade standoff with US 

BEIJING, Apr 28: A top Chinese economic official on Monday said Beijing was on the "right side of history" in its gruelling trade war with the United States.

Since returning to the White House in January, US President Donald Trump has imposed 10 percent tariffs on most US trading partners and a separate 145 percent levy on many products from China.

Beijing has responded with 125 percent tariffs of its own on US goods.
Speaking in Beijing at a news conference at which officials vowed greater steps to shield China's flagging economy from the impact of the standoff, senior economic planner Zhao Chenxin said Beijing was "on the right side of history". �"AFP
