In a spirited session in London, Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng emphasized that settling trade disputes between the United States and the Chinese mainland starts with equal, open dialogue. Speaking with U.S. representatives including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, He Lifeng stressed that cooperation is the only win-win path—trade wars hurt everyone. 👍
The meeting, which marked the first session of the China-U.S. economic and trade consultation mechanism, built on the key consensus reached during a phone call between the two heads of state on June 5. Both sides exchanged candid views on pressing economic issues and agreed to implement measures that consolidate their shared commitments. As He Lifeng put it, sustained dialogue and concrete actions are essential to reduce misunderstandings and boost mutual growth.
In an era where global connections matter more than ever—think of it as a band jamming in perfect harmony—this exchange reminds us that open conversations drive stability and progress in the world economy. 🌎🤝
