【Are China and the U.S. Negotiating on Tariffs and Even Reaching an Agreement? Foreign Ministry: All False Information】

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a regular press conference on the afternoon of April 24.

Reporter: Recently, there have been continuous reports from the U.S. side that China and the U.S. are negotiating and may even reach an agreement. Can you confirm whether the two sides have started negotiations?

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun: These are all false information. To my knowledge, China and the U.S. have not engaged in consultations or negotiations on tariff issues, let alone reached any agreement. This tariff war was initiated by the U.S. side, and China's stance has been consistent and clear. If they want to fight, we will accompany them to the end; if they want to talk, our door is open. Dialogue and negotiations must be based on equality, respect, and mutual benefit.
