SOCHI, Russia, May 14 (Xinhua) -- China and the United States should carry out their trade
talks on the basis of equality instead of blaming and pressuring on the other side during the
process of negotiation, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said here on
Monday.
He made the remarks at a press conference following a meeting with his Russian counterpart
Sergei Lavrov.
When asked about the prospects for China-U.S. trade talks, Wang said Beijing and
Washington have made significant and substantial progress with their joint efforts, but
certain difficulties remain to be carefully handled and resolved.
Under such circumstances, unilateral accusation is meaningless while shifting
responsibility is unacceptable, he said, warning that exerting maximum pressure
will only trigger legitimate countermeasures.
China's move is meant to not only protect its due rights and interests, but also
safeguard the basic rules of multilateral trade mechanism, Wang added.
Wang underlined that the negotiation is not a one-way lane but should be carried
out on the basis of equality, saying it is impossible to expect one side to readily
accept the other's request.
China will always safeguard its sovereignty, Chinese people's interests and national
dignity when negotiating with any country, he said.
The outlook for trade links between China and the United States -- the world's two
largest economies -- not only matters to their own development, but also bears on
the prospect of the world economy.
Therefore, as long as the negotiation is in line with China's reform and opening up policy,
its pursuit of high-quality development, and the common and long-term interests of the
two peoples, the negotiators of both sides will have the ability and wisdom to properly
address their reasonable demand and reach a mutually beneficial agreement, he said.
