On April 24th, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jia Kun hosted a regular press conference. An NHK reporter asked about tariffs, stating that The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump is considering significantly reducing tariffs on China, potentially by more than half, depending on when China will lower its tariffs. What is China's comment on this? Guo Jia Kun stated that he has just introduced China's relevant position. I would like to emphasize again that this tariff war was initiated by the U.S. side, and China's attitude has been consistent and clear. If the U.S. really wants to resolve the issue through dialogue and negotiation, it should abandon the extreme pressure tactics, stop the threats and coercion, and engage in dialogue with China on the basis of equality, respect, and mutual benefit.
