A representative for the Chinese Foreign Ministry on Wednesday contacted the United States to approach tariff negotiations with a mindset of equality, respect and shared benefit.Lin Jian made the remarks in action to Washingtons sweeping extra tariffs on Chinese products going into the country.Noting that the United States continues to impose extreme tariffs on China and turn to maximum pressure at every turn, Li stated China strongly opposes it and will never accept such bullying and hegemonic acts.If the United States genuinely wishes to deal with issues through discussion and negotiation, it needs to embrace an attitude of equality, regard and shared advantage, he said.However, if the United States decides not to care about the interests of the United States itself, China, and the rest of the world and is determined to combat a tariff and trade war, Chinas response will continue to the end, said Lin.
