Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun

In response to a question on whether China intends to increase its purchases of US soybeans as part of the tariff negotiations with the US, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Tuesday that questions about the specifics of the matter should be referred to competent Chinese authorities.

"I want to emphasize that tariff wars and trade wars are not in the interest of either side. Both parties should resolve related issues through consultations based on equality, mutual respect, and reciprocity," Guo said.
