The U.S. does not intend to abolish additional tariffs on Chinese goods in the short term, the Ministry of Commerce responds

　　On April 1, the Ministry of Commerce held a regular press conference.

At the press conference, some media asked that the U.S. Trade Representative recently stated that it does not intend to abolish additional tariffs on Chinese goods in the short term, but is open to trade negotiations with China.

Do you have any comment on this?

　　The news spokesperson Gao Feng said that China has always opposed unilateral tariff increases, which is not good for China, the United States, and the world.

As the two largest economies in the world, the essence of economic and trade relations between China and the United States is mutual benefit and win-win results. Both sides should resolve each other's legitimate concerns through dialogue and consultation on the basis of mutual respect and equal treatment.
