On May 7, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian presided over a regular press conference.
A reporter asked a question. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs released this morning that He Lifeng, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Vice Premier of the State Council, will visit Switzerland from May 9 to 12. During his visit to Switzerland, Vice Premier He Lifeng, as the leader of China-US economic and trade, will hold talks with US Treasury Secretary Besent. Can China further introduce the relevant situation in this regard?
Lin Jian said that the US has been constantly expressing recently that it hopes to negotiate with China. This talks were held at the request of the US, and China's position of firmly opposing the US's abuse of tariffs has not changed at all. At the same time, we have also said many times that China is open to dialogue, but any dialogue must be based on equality, respect and reciprocity. Any form of pressure and coercion will not work for China. China will firmly safeguard its legitimate interests and safeguard international fairness and justice.
