On May 8th, the People’s Daily reported that the healthy development of China US economic and trade relations requires both sides to move towards each other. The Chinese people advocate “peace is the most precious” and “faith and harmony”, but “peace” is not an unprincipled concession, and “trust” is not a connivance of treachery. China always believes that any dialogue and negotiation must be conducted on the premise of mutual respect, equal consultation, and mutual benefit. If the US wants to solve the problem through negotiations, it must face up to the serious negative impact of unilateral tariff measures on itself and the world, acknowledge international economic and trade rules, fairness and justice, and rational voices from all walks of life, show sincerity in negotiations, and correct erroneous practices. If we say one thing, do another, or even attempt to use negotiation as a cover to continue coercion and blackmail, China will never agree, let alone sacrifice our principles and international fairness and justice to seek any agreement. History and reality have repeatedly proven that cooperation between China and the United States benefits both, while confrontation harms both. The United States should adhere to the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation, resolve their respective concerns through equal dialogue and consultation with China, jointly promote the healthy, stable, and sustainable development of China US economic and trade relations, and inject more certainty into the world economy.
