Central News Agency (CNA Taipei, July 2) Regarding the issue of China reducing or canceling tariffs on US agricultural products, Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesperson He Yadong said that enterprises will follow market principles and independently conduct trade based on actual demand and market conditions. According to China News Service, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce held a regular press conference today, where He Yadong responded to media inquiries with the above statement. He Yadong further stated that agricultural product trade is an important component of Sino-US economic and trade cooperation. Following recent economic and trade consultations, both sides have set guiding goals for expanding bilateral agricultural trade and have agreed in principle to include relevant agricultural products in the framework arrangement for reciprocal tariff reductions. He Yadong expressed that China is willing to work with the US to create favorable conditions for bilateral agricultural trade. Last year, affected by multiple rounds of mutual tariff impositions between China and the US, China's agricultural imports from the US significantly declined. After US President Trump's state visit to China in mid-May this year and his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Sino-US tensions eased, and both sides reached a preliminary consensus on issues such as agricultural trade.
