Foreign Minister Wang Yi defended his nation's actions on stemming the flow of fentanyl to the US on Friday at a high-profile briefing, and accused the Republican leader of using the issue as a pretext to pressure his government.

"The US shouldn't return good with evil or even impose arbitrary tariffs on Chinese products," he said on the sidelines of the National People's Congress in the Chinese capital. "No country should fantasize that it can suppress China and maintain good relations with China at the same time."
