The WeChat Official Account "Chinese Embassy in the United States" reported on April 26 that a spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in the United States answered questions from reporters regarding US wishes to discuss tariff issues with China.
Question: Recently, the US side has repeatedly expressed willingness to reach an agreement with China on tariff issues and stated that both sides have held discussions. What are your comments on this?
Answer: Such statements are purely intended to confuse people. According to my understanding, there have been no negotiations or talks between China and the US on tariff issues, let alone any agreements. This tariff war was initiated by the US side, and its resolution must come from where it started. If the US side really wants to resolve problems through dialogue and negotiation, it should correct its mistakes, stop threats and blackmail, completely cancel all unilateral tariff measures against China, and engage in dialogue with China on the basis of equality, respect, and mutual benefit.
Mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation are the right way for China and the US to interact in the new era. Saying one wants to reach an agreement with China while constantly resorting to extreme pressure is not the correct way to deal with China, nor will it work.
