On April 17, He Yongqian, spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China: The Ministry of Commerce of China has been maintaining communication with its US counterparts at the working level. China’s position has always been clear, and it is open to economic and trade consultations with the United States. The unilateral imposition of tariffs was entirely initiated by the United States, and the bell must be tied to the bell. We urge the US side to immediately stop exerting maximum pressure, stop coercion and blackmail, and resolve differences with China through dialogue on an equal footing on the basis of mutual respect.
