Offer an inch of room to a bully and he will take an entire mile. This observation regarding America has come from Chinese ambassador to India Xu Feihong, without naming it, after it imposed a 50 percent tariff on India. Responding to the American tariff, the Chinese ambassador quoted his foreign minister Wang Yi's discussion with the Brazilian president, where he mentioned that America is employing tariffs as a weapon.
