Enes Kanter Freedom sounds alarm on China's 'war' warning: 'Wake up America'

Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier breaks down the Trump administration’s tariffs on ‘Special Report.’

Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom warned the U.S. on Wednesday after China vowed to "fight till the end" against President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement on Tuesday, saying it was ready for any "type" of war with the U.S. It pushed back against tariffs levied against the Chinese government that Trump bumped up from 10% to 20% earlier this week over Beijing’s failure to address the flow of fentanyl entering the U.S.

Kanter Freedom, who has been outspoken for the last few years against the Chinese government, sounded the alarm about the threat in a post on X.

"No embassy issues this type of statement without the capital's approval," he wrote. "Wake up America."

Kanter Freedom was one of the only NBA players to speak out against Chinese President Xi Jinping and the detention camps holding Uyghur Muslims. He also criticized the NBA for having a partnership with the NBA while the atrocities were occurring.

"If war is what the U.S. wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we’re ready to fight till the end," ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said in the statement. China has already responded to the tariffs by imposing a 15% tariff on American agricultural goods.
