On September 24 local time, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with the heads of the National Committee on US-China Relations and the US-China Business Council in New York to exchange views on issues such as China-US relations and China-US economic and trade cooperation.
According to the Beijing News, Wang Yi said that recently, the negative side of the US policy toward China has been clearly on the rise. Some forces have frequently made groundless accusations against China in the fields of economy, trade and security, artificially creating antagonism and poisoning the atmosphere of bilateral relations.
This approach is neither factual nor responsible. If left unchecked, it will ruin the achievements of China-US relations over the past 40 years. This is obviously not good for China and the United States, nor for the whole world.China always maintains that any problems between China and the United States can be resolved through equal and candid dialogue.
Wang Yi said that the economies of China and the United States have been highly integrated, and the economic and trade cooperation between the two countries has brought huge benefits to both industries and consumers.Now some people actually claim to cut off the economic ties between China and the United States, which is neither realistic nor harmful.China and the US are the largest growing and mature markets respectively.The Chinese market is actually closely related to the livelihood of every American family.If the two sides can actively cooperate, the U.S. economy can gain lasting vitality from the Chinese market, and China can also use the U.S. market to help its own development.
In response to the questions raised by the US participants on China's market access, China's reform and opening up, and economic structural adjustment, Wang Yi emphasized that China will continue to firmly deepen reform and expand opening up.China's development so far has benefited from reform and opening up, and further opening up is China's own need.
Since China's accession to the WTO, the average tax rate has dropped to 9.8%, which exceeds our commitments when we entered the WTO, and is also lower than the average level of developing countries; China has opened up 100 sub-sectors in the service trade market, far exceeding the developing countries.The average number of 54 countries is close to the level of developed countries; China has implemented territorial filing for more than 96% of foreign investment, and is fully implementing the management system of pre-establishment national treatment plus negative list, while the negative list is constantly shrinking.At present, China is seeking high-quality development, and it is necessary to deepen structural reforms.
Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has repeatedly stressed that China's door will only open wider and wider, and a series of new opening-up measures have been and will continue to be introduced.Of course, China is still a developing country, and we need to advance the reform process independently and orderly according to our own national conditions.
Wang Yi pointed out that China has no intention of seeking a trade surplus, and is willing to resolve trade imbalances through negotiation, but dialogue should be based on equality and integrity, and cannot be conducted under threats and pressure.The fact that the United States launched a larger-scale unilateral taxation action on the eve of a new round of dialogue can only show that it has no sincerity to solve the problem.
