Asked about latest communication between Chinese and US trade officials after US President Donald Trump said a fresh trade deal with China was “possible,” He Yadong, a spokesperson from China’s Ministry of Commerce, said on Thursday that the Chinese and US commerce departments have been in constant communication.
Bloomberg reported on February 20 that Trump said that a fresh trade deal with China was possible, signaling a willingness to head off a brewing trade war between Washington and Beijing.
Asked whether Chinese and US trade teams have conducted any type of communication or dialogue recently and whether the two sides discussed topics such as tariffs, He said that China firmly opposes the US’ unilateral tariff measures, will resolutely defend its legitimate rights and interests, and is also willing to solve the problem through dialogue and consultation.
