[Ministry of Foreign Affairs: China has never deliberately pursued a trade surplus and opposed all forms of unilateral tariff measures] On August 31, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun hosted a regular press conference. A reporter asked: US Treasury Secretary Bessent said that it is impossible for the world to allow China to have a trade surplus of US$1.2 trillion, and the G20 should re-examine its trade terms with China. What is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ comment on this? Guo Jiakun said that the essence of Sino-US economic and trade relations is mutual benefit and win-win. China has never deliberately pursued a trade surplus and opposed all forms of unilateral tariff measures. We insist on a high level of opening up to the outside world and use China's large market to provide new opportunities for all parties, including the United States. "China and the United States should jointly implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, negotiate and resolve relevant issues on the basis of equality, respect, and reciprocity, and maintain the hard-won good momentum in the current economic and trade field." Guo Jiakun said. (The Paper)
