Asked to comment on the US President's remarks that the US' tariffs against Chinese goods were "very high" and will drop "substantially," and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent 's claim that China-US tariff war will de-escalate, Chinese Commerce Ministry spokesperson He Yadong said on Thursday that the person who tied the bell must untie it.
The unilateral tariff increase was initiated by the US, and if the US really wants to solve the problem, it should heed the rational voices of the international community and domestic parties, completely cancel all unilateral tariff measures against China, and find a way to resolve differences through equal dialogue, He said.
The spokesperson further pointed that the US' abuse of tariffs violates fundamental economic and market principles, and these measures fail to address the US' own issues while severely undermining the global economic order and disrupting normal business operations and consumer lives, facing strong opposition both internationally and domestically in the US.
