If the United States side really wants to solve tariff-related problems with China through dialogue and negotiation, it must stop threatening and extorting, and perform the discussion on the basis of equality, respect and shared benefits, a Chinese Foreign Ministry representative stated on Wednesday.Spokesperson Guo Jiakun made the remarks at a daily news briefing in reaction to the most recent remarks made by United States President Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on trade tensions in between the two countries.China has mentioned that there are no winners in trade and tariff wars, and protectionism leads no place, Guo stated, including that decoupling and supply chains disruption will just cause self-isolation.
China does not wish to battle trade and tariff wars, however will not flinch when the war comes, Guo said, noting that if the United States is bent on waging a trade war, China will fight to the end.
If the United States desires to talk, China will leave the door open for talks, he included.
