CCTV News: On January 23, the Ministry of Commerce held a press conference.
At the press conference, a reporter asked: The executive order signed by US President Trump on his first day of taking office did not include imposing tariffs on China, but according to media reports, he ordered federal agencies to "investigate and remedy" the trade deficit issue and will evaluate the implementation of the first phase of the Sino-US trade agreement. What is the Ministry of Commerce’s response to this? Has China and the US economic and trade team started communication?
Ho Yadong, spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce, responded: The essence of Sino-US economic and trade relations is mutual benefit and win-win results, and the Ministry of Commerce of China and relevant US authorities have been maintaining communication. China hopes that under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, the two sides will strengthen dialogue and communication, properly manage differences, expand mutually beneficial cooperation, and promote the stable and healthy development of China-US economic and trade relations in accordance with the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation.
