Financial News Agency, February 27. According to the website of the Ministry of Commerce, on February 27, Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao sent a letter to the new U.S. Trade Representative Greer, congratulating Georgia on his appointment as the 20th U.S. Trade Representative, and expressing China’s concern about the imposition of tariffs on China’s products exported to the United States.
Wang Wentao said that since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, the economic and trade relations between the two countries have achieved tremendous development, and economic and trade cooperation has made important contributions to the economic growth, employment increase and people’s well-being of the two countries. Healthy and stable Sino-US economic and trade relations are in line with the common interests of both countries and the expectations of the international community. China is willing to work together with the United States to create a better business environment for enterprises from both countries and bring more practical benefits to the people of both countries.
Wang Wentao emphasized that the United States has recently imposed a 10% tariff on China products exported to the United States on the grounds of issues such as fentanyl. China expresses firm opposition to this and has taken corresponding countermeasures, which is a necessary move to safeguard China’s own legitimate rights and interests. China has also noted that President Trump signed the “America First” Trade Policy Memorandum on January 20, in which many investigations are directed at China. It is hoped that the United States will conduct assessments and investigations in an objective, rational and professional attitude to improve transparency. It is normal for China and the United States to have differences in the economic and trade field, and their respective concerns should be resolved through equal dialogue and consultation.
