China says that the Trump government's information “evaluates” | International trade news

China has announced that the United States suggestions to start negotiations on the comprehensive tariffs of US President Donald Trump.

The United States has recently transferred messages to China via relevant channels and expressed the desire to have talks, ”said China's Ministry of Commerce in a statement on Friday.

“China is currently evaluating this.”

Beijing's statements come after the Chinese state media reported at the beginning of the week that the Trump administration had “founded” via several channels.

Trump's trade war with China has led to a de facto -mutual trade bargo between the two largest economies in the world.

Companies and investors have intentionally waited for signs that Washington and Beijing will alleviate their strong tariffs to the goods of the other, since the global economy will cause a lengthy patience.

The International Monetary Fund reduced its worldwide growth forecast for 2025 to 2.8 percent last month, compared to 3.3 percent in January, while JPMorgan Chase put the probability of a US recession to 60 percent this year.

Christopher Beddor, Deputy Research Director of China at Givedkal Dragonomics, a financial service company in Beijing, said China seems to be sincere to be open to discussions, provided that the United States is serious.

“You also have many tools here: the tariffs are already available, but you also have export controls and can launch other probes in US companies,” Beddor told Al Jazera.

“The list continues. The most important thing is that you are willing to stical the damage to economic growth. However, political decision -makers also understand that it would be much better if you did not have to use these tools because there was a de -escalation.”

Trump, who hit a tariff of 145 percent on Chinese exports, repeatedly insisted that his administration is in negotiations with Beijing, a claim that Chinese officials have rejected as “unfounded”.

On Wednesday, Trump said there was a “very good chance” that he would reach a trade agreement with China as long as it was “fair”.

In its explanation on Friday, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced that its attitude towards the trade dispute was consistent.

“If there is a fight, we will fight to the end. If there are conversations, the door is open,” said the ministry.

“The tariff war and the trade war were initiated by the United States, and if the United States wants to speak, it should show sincerity by preparing to correct their faulty actions and the one -sided impression of additional tariffs”, it was said that “attempts are made to use conversations as a pretext to get involved with koerzen and blackmail”.

“Weck call”

In an interview with Fox News, which was broadcast on Thursday evening, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that Trump's tariffs were difficult to harm the Chinese economy and wanted to speak Beijing.

“The Chinese turn to meet, they want to speak,” Rubio told Sean Hannity, moderator of Fox News. “We have people who are involved.”

Rubio also said that the tensions were a “wake -up call” for the United States, and the country should not be so dependent on China.

“For two more years in this direction, and we are really difficult to depend on China,” he said. “So I think that this broader question exists how much we should buy from you at all.”

Steven Okun, the CEO of Singapore's APAC consultant's advisory company, said it was no surprise to see meetings between Chinese and US officials, “given the mutual dependence of their economies and the damage that is done on both”, but the characterizing combat of such contact as “negotiation” would be premature.
