Embassy of the United States, Beijing on Weibo:
At a press conference held by the U.S. Department of State on May 8th, spokesperson Tammy Bruhl announced that U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamie Greer will discuss trade issues with their Chinese counterparts in Switzerland. In accordance with President Trump's instructions, the U.S. is negotiating with various countries to rebalance - as you know, I have repeatedly emphasized - our trade relations, achieve reciprocity, open new markets, and protect America's economic and national security. The tariffs imposed by President Trump on China are due to China's long-standing unfair trade practices, as well as China's decision to retaliate rather than seek a resolution.
A comment: Who initiated the trade war? It is no longer being concealed!
