"Sino-US trade tensions resulted from the US side's unilateral tariffs on Chinese products. If China and the US were to eventually reach a trade deal, the existing US tariffs should all be lifted," said Gao Feng, spokesperson for China's Ministry of Commerce, at a regular press conference on Thursday.
"The Chinese and US teams are in close contact for trade talks and China hopes the two sides can avoid escalating trade tensions by maintaining equality and mutual respect, which is in line with the agreements reached between the two countries' leaders on the sidelines of the G20 Osaka Summit last week," Gao said.
The spokesperson also mentioned the Chinese side is implementing relevant procedures regarding the unreliable entity list with a set rhythm and urged the US to fulfill its promise that "US companies can sell their equipment to Huawei." (CGTN)
