The Chinese responded by branding his words colonial meddling. Along with its ongoing tariff strife with the US, China is clearly feeling the brunt of the global economy. No longer an isolated ‘Middle Kingdom’, its aspirations are now global, and its economic interests stretch as far as Africa and the Middle East.
