CCTV News: On the afternoon of April 24, 2025 (Thursday), the Ministry of Commerce held a press conference. The spokesperson introduced the recent key tasks in the business field and answered questions from reporters.
Reporter: US President Trump said that the current tariffs on goods imported from China are too high, and the tax rate is expected to be significantly reduced. US Treasury Secretary Bescent also said that the Sino-US tariff war will cool down soon. What is the spokesperson’s comment on this?
He Yadong: We have noticed the relevant statements of the US side. The US's abuse of tariffs and violates basic economic and market laws not only does not help solve the US's own problems, but also seriously disrupts the international economic and trade order, interferes with the normal production and operation of enterprises and people's daily consumption, and has been strongly opposed by the international community and the United States.
"The person who tied the bell is required to untie the bell." The unilateral tariff imposition measures are initiated by the US. If the US really wants to solve the problem, it should face up to the rational voices of the international community and all domestic parties, completely abolish all unilateral tariff measures against China, and find a way to resolve differences through equal dialogue.
