China's Foreign Ministry responds to "The White House says China-US trade agreement negotiations have made progress"

Mars Finance News, on April 23, the spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Guo Jiakun, hosted a routine press conference. A reporter from Agence France-Presse asked, "The White House stated yesterday that progress has been made in China-US trade agreement negotiations. Can the spokesperson confirm whether China is currently negotiating a trade agreement with the United States?" Guo Jiakun stated, "Regarding the tariff war launched by the United States, China's stance is very clear: we do not want to fight, but we are not afraid to fight. If the US truly wants to resolve issues through dialogue and negotiation, it should stop threatening and extorting, and engage in dialogue with China on the basis of equality, respect, and mutual benefit. Simultaneously talking about reaching an agreement with China while continuously applying extreme pressure is not the correct way to deal with China, and it will not work."(Jin Shi)
