Just now, the Ministry of Commerce released major news about the trade war: Considering the expectations of the global community, China's interests, and the appeals from the US industry and consumers, China has decided to agree to have contact with the US side.
Vice Premier He Lifeng will visit Switzerland from May 9th to 12th. During this period, he will hold talks with US Treasury Secretary Beston.
The news that China has decided to agree to have contact with the US side has thrown a "heavy bomb" into the global trade landscape, quickly becoming the focus of attention for all sectors.
The negotiations must be based on mutual respect, equal consultation, and mutual benefit and reciprocity. If the US side still uses the pretext of negotiation to engage in coercion and extortion, China will definitely not agree. This contact is an opportunity to ease the tense situation of Sino-US economic and trade relations. If both sides can reach a consensus, it will inject a strong stimulus to the stability of the global economy; if the US side lacks sincerity, it will face China's firm and powerful countermeasures.
