ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi Data, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce stated that China has noticed that senior officials from the U.S. have repeatedly expressed a willingness to negotiate with China on tariff issues. At the same time, the U.S. has recently actively conveyed messages to China through relevant parties, hoping to engage in talks.In response, China is currently conducting an assessment. China's position remains consistent: if the U.S. wants to fight, we will accompany them to the end; if they want to talk, the door is wide open. The tariff war and trade war were initiated unilaterally by the U.S. If the U.S. wants to negotiate, it should show sincerity and be prepared to correct its erroneous practices, cancel unilateral tariff increases, and take action.

Saying one thing and doing another, or even attempting to use talks as a pretext for coercion and extortion, will not work with China.
