The US Treasury Secretary said it will maintain tariffs on China at this stage. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs: There is no winner in the trade war

　　China News Service, Beijing, February 19 (Li Jingze) In response to US Treasury Secretary Yellen’s claim that the Trump administration will continue to impose tariffs on China at this stage, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying responded at a regular press conference on the 19th Said that the essence of Sino-US economic and trade relations is mutual benefit and win-win, and there is no winner in the trade war.

　　A reporter asked questions on the same day. On the 18th, US Treasury Secretary Yellen stated in an interview that the Trump administration will continue to impose tariffs on China at this stage. He hopes that China will continue to fulfill its commitments and that the United States will evaluate how to move forward in an appropriate manner. In addition, a report issued by the American Chamber of Commerce on the 17th showed that the complete decoupling of the United States and China will bring huge losses of hundreds of billions of dollars to the United States, and the U.S. aviation, semiconductor, chemical, medical equipment and other industries will suffer heavy losses. May I ask China about this? Any comments?

　　Hua Chunying said that we have noticed relevant reports. There have been many voices in the United States who opposed the US government’s trade war against China. They believed that this approach would not only solve the US’s own problems, but would let the US do its own. Businesses and consumers pay the bill.

　　"We have repeatedly pointed out that the essence of Sino-US economic and trade relations is mutual benefit and win-win, and there is no winner in the trade war. This has been proved by a large number of facts. This report of the American Chamber of Commerce has once again confirmed this point. Decoupling from China means decoupling from opportunities. , Decouple from the future, decouple from the world." Hua Chunying said.

　　Hua Chunying expressed the hope that the United States would listen to the voices of the business community and people of insight at home and abroad, correct relevant wrong practices, strengthen dialogue and communication with China, expand economic and trade cooperation on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit, and properly handle economic and trade frictions. , To promote the healthy and stable development of Sino-US economic and trade relations.
