U.S. media just quoted sources as saying that U.S. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin has sent an invitation to the Chinese team, hoping that China will send a ministerial delegation to conduct trade negotiations with the U.S. before the U.S. government imposes a new round of tariffs on China. The venue will be in Beijing. Or Washington, the time is "the next few weeks".

According to the report, the source said that the invitation to China for negotiations stated that "some people in the Trump administration still hope to make every effort to strive for China to meet the needs of the United States before imposing tariffs on China".

The report said that the US "seeking talks" this time comes at a time when the US has not yet begun to impose tariffs on US $200 billion worth of Chinese goods exported to the United States.

China has repeatedly stressed that its position on China-US economic and trade issues is firm, clear and unchanged. US pressure and blackmail will not work.

At a regular press conference on the 6th, the Ministry of Commerce of China responded to the US plan to impose tariffs on China's US $200 billion exports to the United States: China has the confidence, ability, and means to maintain the stable and healthy development of China's economy. If the United States ignores its opposition and insists on taking any new tariff measures against China, China will have to take necessary countermeasures.
