China Reiterates US Should Cancel Tariffs Ahead of Trade Talks

We have an offer into the United States and we're waiting for a response from them. So we've done everything on our side of the equation that we can do,

he said, News AU reported

If the US truly seeks to resolve issues through negotiations, it must first recognize the serious negative impact its unilateral tariff measures have had on both itself and the global economy. It must also face up to international trade rules, uphold fairness and justice, heed the rational voices of all parties, and demonstrate sincerity in dialogue,

To pressure or coerce China in whatever way simple does not work. We will resolutely safeguard our legitimate interests and uphold international fairness and justice,

Lin said

We hope the U.S. side will work with China in the same direction and address the concerns of both sides through equal consultation,

the spokesperson said

The U.S. side should make preparations and take actions on issues such as correcting its wrong practices and lifting the unilateral tariffs,

the spokesperson said in response to a journalist's query on an upcoming high-level economic and trade meeting between the two countries

But if the U.S. says one thing but does another, or even attempts to continue to coerce and blackmail under the guise of talks, China will never agree, nor will it seek to reach any agreement by sacrificing its principle and position as well as international fairness and justice,
