On May 10th, Xinhua News Agency published an editorial titled “China’s Unwavering Position in Safeguarding the International Economic and Trade Order”, stating that the tariff war unilaterally provoked by the United States has had an impact on its own economy and had a negative impact on the stability of the global industrial and supply chains. In this context, it is of positive significance for both sides to sit down and talk, which is a necessary way to resolve differences and avoid the escalation of conflicts. However, the effectiveness of the dialogue depends on the sincerity and efforts of both sides, especially whether the US can truly achieve rationality and pragmatism. 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 truly hopes to solve the problem through negotiations, it must face up to the serious negative impact of unilateral tariff measures on the world and itself, 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.
