In a recent statement, a spokesperson from the Chinese Foreign Ministry emphasized that economic and trade cooperation between China and the United States is mutually beneficial. Responding to U.S. calls for a fairer trade relationship, Mao Ning highlighted that China does not intentionally seek a trade surplus.
Mao Ning addressed the ongoing differences and frictions between the two economic giants, asserting that the shared interests and potential for collaboration remain substantial. This foundation allows both nations to enhance dialogue and consultation, fostering a more stable trade environment.
Regarding the U.S. concerns about tariffs, Mao Ning warned that a trade war or tariff battles yield no winners. Such conflicts, she stated, do not serve the interests of either party and can have detrimental effects on the global economy. Emphasizing the importance of cooperation over confrontation, China advocates for constructive engagement to navigate economic challenges.
