Ministry of Commerce responds to whether it has communicated with the US side: 'The person who tied the bell still needs to untie it'

        The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce, He Yong, said on the 17th that the unilateral imposition of tariffs was entirely initiated by the United States, and "the one who tied the bell still needs to untie it." China urges the United States to immediately stop extreme pressure, stop coercion and extortion, and resolve differences with China through equal dialogue on the basis of mutual respect.

        At the regular press conference held by the Ministry of Commerce on the same day, a reporter asked: Trump issued a statement on Tuesday, once again calling on China to extend an olive branch to him and stating that "the ball is on China's side, and it is China that needs to reach an agreement with us". May I ask if the Ministry of Commerce has any comments on this, and at the working level, is the Ministry of Commerce in communication with the US? He Yongqian made the above response.

At the press conference, He Yongqian also stated that recently, the United States has made destructive adjustments to its small parcel tariff policy, which will seriously affect the interests of American consumers.

        He Yongqian said that cross-border e-commerce has unique advantages of high efficiency, fast delivery, and low cost, which can better meet the personalized and diversified consumption needs of consumers. It is an important trend in the innovative development of international trade and has become an indispensable way of life for people.
