China is considering US overtures for trade talks but insists on the cancellation of US tariffs as a prerequisite for meaningful dialogue. The Chinese Commerce Ministry stated that the US must demonstrate sincerity by correcting its actions and removing the tariffs, currently at 145% on Chinese imports and 125% on US goods in China. While US officials suggest China desires negotiations, China denies formal talks are underway, emphasizing that tariff removal is essential for building trust and avoiding coercion.
