China said on Thursday there were "no winners" in a trade war, reacting after a US federal court blocked most of Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs from going into effect.

"On the tariff issue, China has made clear its position many times. There are no winners in a tariff or trade war," foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning told a regular news conference when asked how the ruling would affect negotiations with China.
