He underscored the importance of removing tariffs to benefit both nations and the global economy.
Responding to questions about trade tensions, He highlighted China’s opposition to actions that violate market economy principles and harm the legitimate interests of enterprises. “We hope that the United States will listen more to the voices of enterprises and the public, and provide a fair and just business environment for companies from all countries, including Chinese enterprises,” he stated.
Regarding concerns over technology companies like TikTok, the spokesperson reaffirmed China’s commitment to respecting and safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises.
