Today (April 23), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a regular press conference. A reporter asked, according to reports, US President Trump told reporters that the 145% tariff on China is indeed very high. After the agreement is reached, the US tariff on China will be significantly reduced, but will not be reduced to zero. What is China’s comment on this?
In this regard, Guo Jiakun said that China has long pointed out that there are no winners in tariff wars and trade wars, protectionism has no way out, and "decoupling and breaking chains" will only isolate itself. China's attitude towards the tariff war launched by the United States is very clear. We are unwilling to fight and are not afraid of fighting. Fight, accompany you to the end; talk, the door is open. If the US really wants to resolve the problem through dialogue and negotiation, it should stop threats and blackmail and talk with China on the basis of equality, respect and reciprocity. While saying that we will reach an agreement with China, we will continue to put extreme pressure on it. This is not the correct way to deal with China and it will not work.
