Talk, talk and the door is open.

Netizens mentioned that previously, the Chinese side was mostly "talking" on the front of the "playing" expression.Than Qing found after cleaning up the response of the spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce this year,The order of position around this principle of "talk and talk" Since May this year, the Ministry of Commerce has stated its position four times-fight and accompany it to the end; Talk, the door is open.

The first time was May 2nd.After China announced the tariff rate for all imported goods originating in the United States was raised from 34% to 84%, the U.S. has repeatedly proactively communicated information to the Chinese side through relevant sides, hoping to talk to the Chinese side.

China's position is consistent, fighting, accompanying the end; talks, the door open. tariff war, trade war is initiated by the United States unilaterally, the United States wants to talk should make the sincerity of talks, to correct the wrong practices, to cancel the unilateral tariffs and other issues, be prepared and take action.

Here are four full statements:

A spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce asked reporters about the situation of the Sino-U.S. Economic and Trade Dialogue consultation (2 May)

A reporter asked: Recently, the United States has repeatedly stated that it is negotiating with China on economic and trade issues and will reach an agreement. Does the Ministry of Commerce have any further news and comments on this?

A: China has noticed that high-level US officials have repeatedly expressed their willingness to negotiate with China on tariff issues. At the same time, the United States has recently taken the initiative to transmit information to China many times through relevant parties, hoping to talk with China. In this regard, China is conducting an evaluation.

China's position is consistent, fighting and accompanying it to the end; Talk, the door is open. Tariff wars and trade wars were unilaterally initiated by the United States. If the United States wants to talk, it should show sincerity in talking, and be prepared and take actions on issues such as correcting wrong practices and canceling unilateral tariff increases. We have noticed that the United States has recently been releasing its tariff adjustment measures. What China wants to emphasize is that if the US side does not correct the wrong unilateral tariff measures in any possible dialogue and talks, it means that the US side is completely insincere and will further damage mutual trust between the two sides. Saying one thing and doing another, or even trying to engage in coercion and blackmail under the guise of talking, will not work here in China.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce asked reporters about the China-U.S. Economic and Trade Summit (May 7)

A reporter asked: On the morning of May 7th, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that Vice Premier He Lifeng will visit Switzerland from May 9th to 12th, during which he will hold talks with the US side. Could the Ministry of Commerce tell us about the background and related considerations of this meeting?

A: Since taking office, the new U.S. administration has adopted a series of illegal and unreasonable unilateral tariff measures, which have seriously impacted China-US economic and trade relations, seriously disrupted the international economic and trade order, and also brought severe challenges to the recovery and growth of the world economy. In order to defend its legitimate rights and interests, China has taken resolute and powerful countermeasures. Recently, high-level US officials have been constantly spreading rumors about adjusting tariff measures and proactively transmitting information to China through various channels, hoping to talk with China on tariffs and other issues. China has carefully evaluated the US information. On the basis of fully considering global expectations, China's interests, and the appeals of the U.S. industry and consumers, China decided to agree to engage with the United States. As the Chinese leader of China-US economic and trade, Vice Premier He Lifeng will hold talks with the US leader, U.S. Treasury Secretary Basent, during his visit to Switzerland.

China's position is consistent, whether it be fighting or talking, China's determination to safeguard its own development interests will not change, defend international fairness and justice, safeguard the international economic and trade order, the position and objectives will not change. Fight, go to the end; talk, the door open. Any dialogue negotiations must be carried out under the premise of mutual respect, equal consultation, mutual benefit. China has a saying, "listen to the word and look at it." The United States wants to solve the problem through negotiation, must look forward to the serious negative effects of unilateral tariff measures on itself and the world, look forward to the international economic trade rules, fairness and rational voices of all spheres, give up the intention of negotiation, correct the wrong practices, go with the Chinese side

The Chinese side noted that some economies are also negotiating with the US side. It is necessary to emphasize that peace can not be replaced by Yuan, compromise can not be respected, adhere to the principle position, adhere to fairness and justice, is the right way to safeguard their own interests. No matter how the international landscape changes, China will always firmly expand opening up, firmly safeguard the WTO core multilateral trade system, firmly share development opportunities with all countries in the world. China is willing to work with all parties to deepen mutual benefit cooperation, strengthen communication and coordination, jointly resist unilateral protectionism and hegemony, jointly safeguard free trade and multilateralism, and promote the construction of inclusive economic globalization.

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answers a reporter's question on the recent US announcement of tariffs and other restrictive measures on China (October 14)

A reporter asked: Recently, US officials said that after learning that China had taken export control measures on rare earths and other related items, they proposed to have a phone call with China, but China postponed this proposal. At the same time, the US said that both sides need to find a way to return to a stable situation. What is the comment of the Ministry of Commerce on this?

A: China has noticed the relevant situation. Recently, China has clarified its position on restrictive measures such as the threat of the United States to impose 100% tariffs on China. I would like to reiterate that the export control measures on rare earths and other related items are a legitimate practice for the Chinese government to improve its own export control system in accordance with laws and regulations. As a responsible major country, China has always firmly safeguarded its own national security and international common security. China's export control does not prohibit exports. Applications that meet the regulations will continue to be licensed to jointly safeguard the security and stability of the global production and supply chain. Before the measures were introduced, China had informed the United States through the bilateral export control dialogue mechanism. On the other hand, the United States has long generalized national security, abused export controls, and adopted discriminatory practices against China. Especially since the Sino-US economic and trade talks in Madrid, the United States has continuously introduced a series of new restrictive measures against China, which have seriously damaged China's interests and seriously damaged the atmosphere of the economic and trade talks between the two sides. China firmly opposes this.

Regarding tariff wars and trade wars, China's position is consistent. Fight and accompany you to the end; talk and the door is open. China and the United States have extensive common interests and broad space for cooperation. If the two sides cooperate, they will benefit both, and if they fight, they will suffer both. The past four rounds of economic and trade consultations have fully proved that China and the United States can find solutions to problems on the basis of mutual respect and equal consultation. The two sides have maintained communication under the framework of the China-US economic and trade consultation mechanism, and also held working-level talks yesterday. I want to point out that the United States cannot threaten and intimidate new restrictions while talking. This is not the right way to get along with China. China urges the United States to correct its wrong practices as soon as possible, show sincerity for talks, move towards China, be guided by the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, safeguard the hard-won consultation results, continue to play the role of the China-US economic and trade consultation mechanism, and resolve each other through dialogue and consultation. We must resolve each other's concerns, properly manage differences, and promote the healthy, stable and sustainable development of China-US economic and trade relations.

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answered reporters 'questions on the implementation of the U.S. 301 investigation and restrictions on China's shipbuilding and other industries (October 14)

On October 14, the United States, based on the results of the so-called 301 survey, officially implemented restrictive measures such as port charges in China's maritime, logistics and shipbuilding fields.

A: The US measures are typical unilateralism and protectionism. They seriously violate WTO rules and violate the principle of equality and reciprocity of the China-US Maritime Transport Agreement. They give shipping and shipbuilding companies of relevant countries an unfair competitive advantage and constitute a violation of China's shipping, shipbuilding and other industries. Discriminatory practices seriously damage the interests of relevant industries in China. China is strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposed to this. It announced on October 10 that it would charge special port fees on ships involving American elements such as U.S. flag, American made, owned, or operated by American companies.

The US measures not only affect the stability of the global supply chain, significantly increase the cost of international trade, but also increase domestic inflation in the United States, damage the competitiveness and employment of the U.S. port, affect the security and resilience of the U.S. supply chain.

In order to further safeguard the interests of China's related industries, relevant Chinese departments have included some companies that assist and support the relevant U.S. investigation activities in accordance with the National Security Law of the People's Republic of China, the Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law of the People's Republic of China, and the International Shipping Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the counter-list, and launched investigations into the actions of the United States and some countries and enterprises that endanger the safety and development interests of my country's shipping, shipbuilding and other related industries. During the implementation of the investigation, China will conduct law enforcement and investigations in accordance with the principles of openness, fairness and impartiality to fully protect the rights of all stakeholders.

China's position on relevant issues is clear, consistent, fighting, accompanying the end; talks and doors are open.China urges the United States to correct its wrong practices, and move forward with China to solve the issues of concerns of the two sides through equal dialogue and consultation.
