China has called on the United States to lift its unilateral tariffs on trading partners,
saying there are no winners in a trade war and that protectionism leads nowhere.
China's Commerce Ministry made a remark in response to the U.S.
Supreme Court ruling declaring the Trump administration's tariffs illegal.
Beijing says it is assessing the court's decision and its implications.
The Commerce Ministry says facts have proven that China and the United States both stand to gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation.
So joining us now on the line is Liu Zhiqing,
senior fellow with Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies, Renmin University of China.
So thank you very much for joining us today, Zhiqing.
First of all, The U.S.
Supreme Court has actually, you know,

But in this particular case,
why do you think the court has ruled six to three that Trump does not have the authority to impose tariffs?
