In a recent press conference, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun clarified that China and the United States have not held any consultations or negotiations on tariff-related issues. Guo stressed that reports suggesting otherwise are unfounded.
"As far as I understand it, China and the United States have not conducted consultations or negotiations on the tariff issue, let alone reached an agreement," he stated. Guo pointed out that the U.S. initiated the tariff war, and while China remains open to negotiation, it will stand firm 💪 if the situation escalates.
He also emphasized that any dialogue must be equal, respectful, and mutually beneficial. This straightforward message resonates with those following international trade dynamics and reminds us that even in turbulent times, fair play and mutual respect remain key to resolving global challenges 😎.
