Are China and the United States planning to discuss the special tariffs imposed by the U.S. on China for fentanyl reasons? The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responds.

Lin Jian said that regarding the China-US high-level economic and trade talks, the relevant Chinese departments have already issued statements. On the issue of fentanyl, China has also repeatedly stated that fentanyl is a problem for the United States, not China, and the responsibility lies with the United States itself. The US has ignored China's goodwill, unreasonably imposing tariffs on fentanyl from China, which seriously undermines the dialogue and cooperation between China and the US in the field of drug control, and also seriously harms China's interests. "If the US truly wants to cooperate with China, it should stop smearing and shifting blame on China, and engage in dialogue with China in an equal, respectful, and mutually beneficial manner," said Lin Jian.
