At the regular press conference on the day, a reporter asked: On the 18th, the US announced that it would impose tariffs on 200 billion US dollars of Chinese exports to the United States. US Commerce Secretary Ross said in an interview that the US intention is to engage in constructive negotiations with China. The fundamental question. As to whether and when to conduct consultations, the ball is on the Chinese side. How does China respond to this?
'The US side said that 'the ball is on the Chinese side' is not the first time. I will help you restore the truth. '
'I believe everyone remembers that from June 2 to 3, US Secretary of Commerce Ross held a Sino-US consultation on economic and trade issues with China. Just two days before the consultation, that is, on May 29, the US announced that it would value 500. US$100 million in Chinese goods are subject to tariffs. '
'August 22nd to 23rd, China and the United States held consultations at the vice-ministerial level on economic and trade issues in Washington. On the day of the consultation, that is, on August 23, the US began to impose tariffs on the $16 billion imported from China.
'Not long ago, the Chinese side received an invitation from the US to hold a new round of Sino-US economic and trade consultations. The two sides also maintained communication on the details. But yesterday, the US announced that it would soon add to the $200 billion worth of Chinese exports to the United States. Tariffs, and then other tariff escalation measures. '
He said that the US side shouted in contact with the dialogue, waving a big stick of sanctions, and issuing invitations to negotiate, while exerting extreme pressure. 'This pattern seems to have become a routine for the US side. For this kind of routine of the US side, the Chinese side is ignorant. Take it easy. '
'I want to emphasize here: First, the US threat, intimidation, and blackmail will not work for China. We will continue to push forward reform and opening up in accordance with our own timetable and roadmap, while continuing to resolutely defend our legitimate rights and interests; Second, the essence of Sino-US economic and trade cooperation is mutual benefit and win-win. There are differences, not terrible. Dialogue and consultation on the basis of equality, integrity and mutual respect is the only correct way to solve the Sino-US economic and trade issues. We hope that the US can reflect Goodwill and sincerity. '耿爽说.
