A new round of economic and trade talks between China and the United States will be held in Sweden soon. This is another face-to-face consultation on economic and trade issues after the establishment of the London framework of the Economic and Trade Talks in Geneva, Switzerland and the establishment of the London framework of the Economic and Trade Talks in London, the two sides of China and the United States held face-to-face consultations on economic and trade issues. At present, the world economy is facing many uncertainties. The international community generally expects China and the United States to make good use of the existing economic and trade consultation mechanisms, maintain and implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state with practical actions, and move towards each other, and promote the economic and trade relations between the two countries to continue to move towards the correct direction of resolving economic and trade differences through equal dialogue and consultation.

China came to Sweden with sincerity. Although China-US economic and trade relations have experienced ups and downs in recent years, China has always adhered to a constructive position and insisted on solving problems through equal dialogue and consultation. In the new round of Sino-US economic and trade frictions, while firmly defending its legitimate rights and interests, China has always opened the door to negotiations. From Geneva to London, China's sincerity is reflected in its practical efforts to promote the consultation process and in specific actions to implement the consensus between the two sides, effectively enhancing the confidence of all parties in China and the United States in resolving differences through equal dialogue and consultation. At this Swedish economic and trade talks, China's goal is to work together with the United States to make joint efforts in the direction of substantive resolution of the problem. China's insistence on equal dialogue and consultation stems from a deep understanding of the mutually beneficial and win-win nature of China-US economic and trade relations, and also from a clear understanding of the special global responsibilities shouldered by the two countries. Differences between countries are inevitable, and the key lies in how to solve the problem. Dialogue and consultation are not only more efficient, but also avoid unnecessary costs. China's development interests cannot be violated. Both sides should explore possible solutions through equal dialogue on the basis of mutual respect. China and the United States adhere to the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, and continue to consult on economic and trade issues of concern to each other, which is in line with the common expectations of the people of the two countries and the international community.

Sincerity does not mean unprincipled compromise. Consultations have bottom lines and cooperation have principles. Any dialogue and negotiation must be carried out under the premise of mutual respect, equal consultation and mutual benefit. What China safeguards is not only its own legitimate rights and interests, but also international fairness and justice. China's development achievements are the result of the hard work of the Chinese people, and are by no means gifted by others, and have never come at the expense of the interests of other countries. China's development achievements cannot be violated and the right to development cannot be deprived. Faced with various containment and suppression by the US, such as tariff blackmail, investment restrictions, and technology blockade, China's will to defend its legitimate rights and interests is unswerving, and its ability is obvious to all. The latest 2025 Chinese economic semi-annual report shows that in the face of sharp changes in the international situation and significant increase in external pressure, China's economy has shown strong resilience and vitality: GDP grew by 5.3% year-on-year, an increase of 0.3 percentage points from the same period last year and the whole year last year; the total import and export of goods trade is 21.79 trillion yuan, an increase of 2.9% year-on-year. This fully proves that China's economy can withstand pressure and achieve stable growth. Looking to the future, no matter how the external environment changes, China is confident of maintaining a steady and positive economic trend, and is confident of continuing to promote high-quality development and injecting valuable stability and certainty into the world economy.

China has a clear understanding of the long-term and complexity of the negotiations. We clearly see that the economic and trade frictions unilaterally initiated by the United States are by no means a dispute over interests for a moment and a matter of time. Its essence is related to the fundamental rules of the international economic and trade order. China firmly opposes the use of unilateralism and protectionism to undermine the multilateral trading system, which is not only for itself, but also for the institutional cornerstone of defending global common development. More and more knowledgeable people in the international community point out that no one can protect themselves in the face of economic bullying. Only by firmly defending the principled position can we effectively safeguard our legitimate rights and interests in negotiations. Once the bottom line of principles is lost, blackmail will inevitably become worse, and eventually all countries may become victims. The higher the wind and faster the waves, the more we need to maintain a clear-cut strategy and strengthen unity and cooperation. All parties should jointly defend the rules-based multilateral trading system and jointly create an open, inclusive and non-discriminatory international trade environment. History and reality have repeatedly proved that dialogue and cooperation are the only right way to resolve economic and trade disputes, and blackmail coercion is doomed to have no way out.

Uphold the greatest sincerity and adhere to the principle of necessary. China is willing to work with the United States to take this Swedish economic and trade talks as an opportunity to continuously enhance consensus, accumulate mutual trust, reduce misjudgment, and strengthen cooperation, and inject more positive impetus into the respective development of the two countries and the prosperity and stability of the world economy.
