At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China held on May 30, a foreign media reporter asked: The US Treasury Secretary said that trade negotiations with China “have somewhat stalled”. What is China’s comment on this? Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian responded that China has repeatedly stated its position on the tariff issue. For specific questions, it is suggested that you consult the competent authorities of China.
Previously, US Treasury Secretary Basent said in an interview with the media that since the temporary truce of the Sino-US trade war, the progress of the talks has been slow. His statement this time that the negotiations “stalled” has once again drawn the outside world’s attention to the direction of China-Us trade relations. However, the Ministry of Commerce of China has long made it clear that no economic and trade negotiations have been conducted between China and the United States at present. Any claim regarding the progress of economic and trade negotiations between China and the United States is groundless and lacks factual basis. China has always held an open attitude towards consultation and dialogue, but emphasizes that it must be conducted in an equal manner on the basis of mutual respect.
The trade war was wantonly and unilaterally initiated by the US side. China urges the US side to correct its wrong practices, return to the right track of equal dialogue and consultation in good faith, and promote the stable, healthy and sustainable development of China-Us economic and trade cooperation. The response of the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs this time also continues China’s consistently clear and firm position on trade issues.
