Saying the COVID-19 situation has clearly impacted China's purchases of U.S. goods and services under the Phase One agreement, Assistant Ministry of Commerce Ren Hongbin called on the U.S. to stop taking “restrictive” actions and create a more-positive atmosphere for implementing the Phase One agreement between the two sides.
"Under the current situation, it is required that the both sides need to work together and step up cooperation to overcome the difficult times," Ren stated. “We hope U.S. would stop taking any restrictions and discriminatory action against Chinese companies and create conditions for the implementation of the Phase 1 trade agreement."
U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and Chinese Vice Premier Liu He are to take part in a video conference August 15 to assess the Phase One agreement status.
