Ministry of Commerce spokesperson Gao Feng said on the 30th that no matter what pressure measures the United States takes, China will firmly advance reform and opening up at its own pace, and will continue to firmly safeguard multilateral trade together with most countries. system, promote economic globalization and trade and investment liberalization, and jointly build a community with a shared future for mankind.
In response to recent U.S. accusations that China is unfair to U.S. trade, Gao Feng said at a regular press conference held by the Ministry of Commerce that day that after China joined the WTO, it would carry out foreign trade activities in strict accordance with the rules of the international multilateral trading system. While China is exporting goods and services of good quality and good prices to the world, due to the rapid growth of its domestic consumer market, China is also purchasing goods and services from countries around the world at a faster growth rate. Not only that, multinational companies from various countries, including the United States, have set up branches in China, and their sales to China have also grown rapidly.
Gao Feng said that Sino-US economic and trade cooperation is mutually beneficial and win-win. It not only enables the enterprises of the two countries to achieve rapid development, but also benefits the people of the two countries. We hope that the United States will not judge the whole by the standards of a small group of people, let alone deceive itself and mislead the general public.
When talking about the future of Sino-US economic and trade relations, Gao Feng said that he hoped that the two sides could respect each other through equal, honest and pragmatic dialogue and jointly safeguard the overall situation of mutually beneficial and win-win bilateral economic and trade cooperation.
According to reports, at the recent hearing held by the Office of the United States Trade Representative on the imposition of tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods, more than 300 stakeholder representatives from the United States, China and other countries spoke, and more than 90% of them opposed the tariffs on China. Tariffs are levied on goods.
Gao Feng said that this fully shows that the US’s unilateral tariff increase measures are unpopular. China hopes that the United States will face up to the voices of the industries and consumers in China and the United States, face up to the long-term industrial chain cooperation between China and the United States, face up to the fundamental interests of the two peoples, and make the right choice.
