The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to Trump’s remarks on tariffs： Chinese never eats this set.

　　According to reports, on 26th, US President Trump said in an interview that the US and China have exchanged views on economic and trade issues in the past few days, and the two sides may reach an agreement during the G20 summit. If no agreement can be reached, he will impose additional tariffs on China. At today’s (27th) regular press conference of China’s Foreign Ministry, Geng Shuang, a spokesman, said that the US threat could not scare the people of China, and a trade war would harm others and harm themselves, which could not solve the problem at all.

　　Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Geng Shuang:China has always advocated resolving Sino-US economic and trade frictions through dialogue and consultation, but at the same time it will firmly defend its legitimate rights and interests. The US threatened to impose additional tariffs on China, which did not scare the people of China. Chinese believes in no evil and is not afraid of pressure. He never buys it. I would like to advise the US side once again that a trade war and tariff increase will not solve the problem at all. I hope that the US side will listen carefully to the opposition of different groups and the general public in the United States to trade wars and tariff increases in recent days, and also listen carefully to the resistance of the international community to unilateralism, protectionism and bullying during the G20 summit.

　　Geng Shuang expressed the hope that the US and China will move in the same direction, take care of each other’s reasonable concerns on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit, and strive for mutual benefit and win-win. This is not only in the interests of China and the United States and the two peoples, but also the general expectation of the international community.
