China’s Commerce Ministry: Do not actively pursue trade surplus with US
|China’s Ministry of Commerce spokesperson said on Friday, China does not seek to engineer a trade surplus with the US and views its trading relationship as determined by multiple factors such as different economic structures, the international division of labor, and US export controls to China.
The spokesperson said that China called on the US to remove trade restrictions on China, which is beneficial to both sides.
The spokesperson said forcing the sale of TikTok would undermine the confidence of foreign investors in the US and should be opposed.
