The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responds to the US -Japan economy "2+2" talks

Q

According to the "Office of the Foreign Ministry", at the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on August 1st, a reporter from Hubei Radio and Television asked: According to reports, on July 29, US Secretary of State Brills and Minister of Commerce Raymond and Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs Lin Lin Fangzheng, Minister of Economy and Industry, held a "2+2" dialogue. Brinken said that the two sides talked about China and their coercion economic policies, and believed that this was violated with openness, tolerance, and rules -based international economic systems. What does China respond to this?

A

Zhao Lijian: China has always adhered to the concept of openness, tolerance, mutual benefit and win -win, and promoted the construction of an open world economy, and shared development opportunities with various countries. We never put our hands into other people's homes, do not engage in a trade war, and do not coercion to suppress other countries. On the other hand, the cases of economic coercion are everywhere. Economic sanctions, technical blockade, and suppressing other countries, the United States has everything. The United States is engaged in economic coercion to maintain its own economic hegemony. This not only violates market rules, but also violates international trade rules.

What's more ironic is that Japan itself is a victim of economic stress in the United States itself. Since the 1980s, the United States has launched economic sanctions on Japan many times. It has unscrupulously suppressed the Japanese advantageous industry and even promoted a structural surgery of the Japanese economy. What is puzzling is why the Japanese side selectively obediently obey?

We advise the United States and Japan not to political, trade and scientific and technological issues politically, weapons, and pan -security, do not target third -party or damage to third parties, let alone splitting and confrontation with the banner of "cooperation" and "dialogue".
