On the afternoon of May 8th, the Ministry of Commerce held a routine press conference, and reporters asked about the China-US high-level economic and trade talks. Ministry of Commerce spokesperson, Gao Feng, said that China's firm opposition to the US's indiscriminate imposition of tariffs has always been consistent. If the US wants to resolve issues through negotiation, it must acknowledge the serious negative impact of unilateral tariff measures on itself and the world, and consider international trade rules, fairness, justice, and rational voices from all sectors, and show sincerity in negotiations. It must be prepared for correction and cancellation of unilateral tariffs, take action, move towards China, and address mutual concerns through equal consultations. If the US tries to continue coercion and extortion under the guise of negotiations, China will never agree and will not sacrifice its principles and international fairness and justice to reach any agreement.
