Beijing, China – China has urged the United States to lift the extensive tariffs imposed on Chinese imports in order to demonstrate a sincere commitment to ending the ongoing trade war between the two nations. Despite previous indications from the Trump administration, a Chinese official confirmed that there have been no recent trade discussions between the US and China.

The trade tensions between the world’s top two economies have continued to escalate, with China retaliating against US tariffs by sending back Boeing planes that were previously ordered. While President Trump has hinted at a potential reduction in tariffs on Chinese goods, he emphasized that they would not be eliminated entirely.

In a bold statement addressing the tariff war, Chinese Commerce Ministry spokesman He Yadong asserted that the US must eliminate all unilateral tariff measures against China if it genuinely seeks to resolve the trade conflict. He emphasized the notion that the party responsible for causing a problem should also take the necessary steps to resolve it.

Furthermore, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun dismissed reports of ongoing tariff consultations or negotiations between China and the US as inaccurate. The lack of progress in trade discussions was also confirmed by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, contradicting previous claims made by President Trump about active negotiations between the two countries.

As tensions persist between China and the US, both nations continue to grapple with the economic implications of the trade war. The uncertainties surrounding future trade relations have raised concerns among businesses and investors on a global scale. The international community eagerly awaits any progress towards a potential resolution to the ongoing trade dispute.
