China slams Bessent over hyping up China trade surplus ahead of possible Xi visit to US

Bloomberg: U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the world cannot have a US$1.2 trillion trade surplus with China and he said the G20 countries should reexamine their terms of trade with the country. Would the Foreign Ministry like to comment?

Guo Jiakun: China‑U.S. economic and trade ties are mutually beneficial in nature. China never seeks trade surplus. We oppose unilateral tariff measures in all forms. Committed to high‑standard opening up, China,  with its vast market, offers new opportunities to all, including the United States. Both sides need to act on the important common understandings reached between the two presidents, resolve outstanding issues through consultation on the basis of equality, mutual respect and mutual benefit, and strive to maintain the hard‑won positive momentum in bilateral trade.
