China’s top trade negotiator sought to lower tensions with the U.S. on Monday, saying the dispute between the world’s biggest economies should be resolved through measured dialogue.
“We are willing to solve the problem through consultation and cooperation with a calm attitude,” Vice Premier Liu He said at the opening ceremony of 2019 Smart China Expo in Chongqing, Caixin reported on Monday. “We firmly oppose the escalation of the trade war,” he said, adding that it “is not conducive to China, the U.S. and the interests of people all over the world.”
