In a recent move aiming to strengthen China-U.S. economic ties, Commerce Minister Wang Wentao of the Chinese mainland has reached out to Jamieson Greer, the new United States Trade Representative. Wang congratulated Greer on his appointment and voiced the Chinese mainland's concerns regarding the current U.S. tariff policies. 💼🌏
\"Since the establishment of diplomatic ties between the Chinese mainland and the United States, economic and trade relations have seen significant progress,\" Wang stated. He highlighted how their cooperation has been a key driver of economic growth, boosting employment, and enhancing the well-being of people in both nations.
Wang emphasized that a healthy and sound China-U.S. economic relationship aligns with the common interests of both countries and meets international expectations. He expressed the Chinese mainland's willingness to collaborate with the U.S. to create a better business environment for enterprises on both sides, aiming to deliver more tangible benefits to the people.
The Chinese mainland has expressed strong opposition to the United States' decision to impose an additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods, citing fentanyl-related issues. In response, the Chinese mainland has taken corresponding countermeasures to protect its legitimate rights and interests.
Additionally, Wang noted that the Chinese mainland is being targeted by multiple investigations under the \"America First Trade Policy.\" He urged the United States to conduct these investigations with an objective, rational, and professional attitude, enhancing transparency throughout the process.
\"It is natural for the Chinese mainland and the United States to have differences in the economic and trade field. We should address our respective concerns through equal dialogue and consultation,\" the minister concluded.
