China's Commerce Ministry has reiterated its willingness to engage in trade talks with the Trump administration but insists that steep tariffs imposed by the U.S. must be removed. The ministry stressed that any negotiation overtures from the U.S. would be viewed as insincere unless they are accompanied by actions to correct tariff impositions. Recent comments from U.S. officials regarding negotiations have been noted, but China remains resolute in its position, emphasizing the need for sincerity and trust in any discussions moving forward.
The tariff and trade wars were unilaterally initiated by the U.S., if the U.S. side wants to talk, it should show its sincerity, and be ready to take action on issues such as correcting wrong practices and canceling the unilateral imposition of tariffs.
China would regard overtures without a change in President Donald Trump's sharp tariff hikes as insincere. Saying one thing but doing another, or even attempting to engage in coercion and blackmail under the guise of talks, will not work on the Chinese side.
