China has reportedly issued a bold response to President Donald Trump’s global tariffs through a provocative propaganda video titled “Never Kneel Down!” shared on Elon Musk’s platform X.
The clip, released by China’s Foreign Ministry, criticizes the U.S. for what it describes as bullying and manipulation in international trade.
In the video, a narrator compares yielding to a bully to “drinking poison to quench thirst,” suggesting that such actions only exacerbate crises.
The message emphasizes that bowing to pressure will not lead to mercy but rather invite further bullying.
The narrator highlights historical instances, such as the U.S. forcing Japan to sign the Plaza Accord, which led to economic stagnation for decades.

China asserts that it will not submit to intimidation, insisting that standing firm is essential for maintaining the possibility of cooperation.
The video asserts that the U.S. does not represent the entire world, as its trade accounts for less than 20% of the global total. It portrays a narrative of solidarity among nations standing against U.S. hegemony.
Despite the provocative content, Chinese officials have reiterated that there are currently no negotiations underway regarding tariffs with the U.S.
This stance follows Trump’s implementation of a significant 145% tariff on Chinese imports, raising concerns about potential shortages and price increases in the U.S. market.
As tensions continue to escalate, the Chinese government remains resolute, asserting that it will not back down in the face of pressure, reinforcing its commitment to standing strong against external threats.
The video serves as a clear message of defiance against U.S. trade policies and a call for unity among other nations.
