CCTV News: On February 6, the Ministry of Commerce held a regular press conference. A reporter asked: The United States announced that it would suspend parcels from mainland China and Hong Kong, China since February 4, and resumed receiving those express delivery a few hours later. What is China’s reaction to this?

Ho Yongqian, spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce, said that cross-border e-commerce directly meets consumers' personalized needs, arrives quickly, and saves costs. It has unique advantages and is an important trend in the development of international trade. The US has recently imposed a 10% tariff on Chinese products imported to the US and adjusted its small-scale duty-free policy, which will undoubtedly increase the consumption costs of local American consumers and reduce the shopping experience.

No matter how a country's trade policy is adjusted, the advantages and characteristics of cross-border e-commerce itself have not disappeared and are still very competitive. The general trend of digital development of international trade will not change. At the same time, we also hope that the US can adapt to the development trend of international trade, optimize supervision, create a fair and predictable policy environment for the development of cross-border e-commerce, and provide local consumers with a more convenient, higher-quality and higher-priced consumption environment.
