In a recent statement, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson clarified that there are no ongoing consultations or negotiations on tariffs with the U.S. when asked about the status of trade talks.
During a regular press briefing, spokesperson Guo Jiakun stressed, "The U.S. should stop creating confusion," emphasizing that any mention of progress in economic and trade discussions is unfounded.
Similarly, a Chinese commerce ministry spokesperson, He Yadong, reiterated that claims of advanced trade negotiations between the two largest economies are groundless and not based on facts.
China remains open to consultation and dialogue, insisting that any such talks must be carried out on an equal basis with mutual respect. As officials put it, "We Chinese are not troublemakers, but we will not flinch when trouble comes our way." 🚀
