[Global Times-Global Network Reporter Ni Hao] On the afternoon of October 16, the Ministry of Commerce held a regular press conference. Some media questions said that U.S. Trade Representative Greer said that whether to avoid the United States from imposing new 100% tariffs on China products depends on China. He also said he believed there was still an opportunity to resolve disputes over key mineral restrictions. What is China's comment on this?

In this regard, the spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce Ho Zhang said, I want to emphasize that after the economic and trade talks in Madrid, despite the repeated deterrence of the Chinese side, in just over 20 days, the United States immediately introduced 20 measures of pressure on China, seriously damaging the Chinese interests, damaging the atmosphere of economic and trade talks between the two sides.

He said that China is strongly dissatisfied with a series of US practices and resolutely opposes them, hoping that the US side will cherish the results of economic and trade talks and immediately correct the wrong practices. China is willing to properly resolve its concerns with the US side on the basis of mutual respect and through equal dialogue.

"Before the introduction of the measures, China has informed all relevant countries and regions, including the United States, through the bilateral export control dialogue mechanism to clarify policy objectives and reduce misunderstandings and misjudgments." He Yongqian further introduced, "Some countries and regions have expressed their understanding and willingness, and are actively communicating and cooperating with China."
