Foreign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun presided over a regular press conference on August 31. A Bloomberg reporter asked a question. US Treasury Secretary Bezent said that it is impossible for the world to allow China to have a trade surplus of 1.2 trillion US dollars, and the G20 should re-examine the terms of trade with China. What comments does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have on this? Guo Jiakun said that the essence of Sino-US economic and trade relations is mutual benefit and win-win situation. China never deliberately pursues trade surpluses and opposes various forms of unilateral tariff measures. We insist on a high level of openness to the outside world and use the large Chinese market to provide new opportunities for all parties, including the US. “China and the US should jointly implement the important consensus of the two heads of state, resolve relevant issues through negotiations on the basis of equality, respect and mutual benefit, and maintain the current hard-won momentum in the economic and trade fields.” Guo Jiakun said.
