China: If the United States imposes tariffs on China, all economic and trade achievements reached through consultations will not take effect.

Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Lou Shuang said in Beijing on June 14th that if the U.S. side issues trade sanctions including tariffs on China, all economic and trade achievements negotiated between the two sides will not take effect.

At a regular press conference held on the same day, a reporter asked: According to reports, US President Trump will discuss with high-level trade officials today to determine whether it will impose tariffs on Chinese exports to the United States tomorrow. Is China ready to deal with or have confidence in winning this trade war?

In this regard, Yu Shuang said that the essence of Sino-U.S. economic and trade relations is win-win cooperation. We have consistently maintained that both sides should properly resolve relevant economic and trade issues through dialogue and consultation on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit, narrow differences and expand cooperation so as to benefit the two countries and their peoples.

Shuang Shuang said that early this month, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Ross led a delegation to China and held consultations with China and made positive and concrete progress. Everyone should remember that after the consultations, China issued a statement. The statement pointed out that if the U.S. side introduces trade sanctions including the increase of tariffs, all the economic and trade achievements negotiated by the two parties will not take effect.

When reiterating the contents of the statement, he particularly emphasized that what he said was "all economic and trade achievements."

According to another report, U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo said that North Korea will not ease or lift economic sanctions against North Korea until it achieves denuclearization. A reporter on the same day asked: Does China agree with the US position?

In this regard, Zhai Shuang emphasized that China believes that sanctions are not an end in itself and that all parties should support and cooperate with the current diplomatic dialogue and realize the denuclearization of the peninsula and promote the political settlement of the peninsula.
