Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 25 (Reporter Liu Yang) Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a regular press conference on the 25th that the US side ignored China's goodwill and unreasonably imposed fentanyl tariffs on China. This is a typical bullying act and seriously undermines dialogue and cooperation between the two sides in the field of drug control.

  A reporter asked: According to reports, people familiar with the US government said that the US and China are still negotiating on the fentanyl issue, but China is "not sincere enough" and the US may take more punitive measures to force China to take substantial actions. What is China’s comment?

  Guo Jiakun said that fentanyl is a problem of the United States, not China's problem, and the responsibility lies with the United States itself. The US side ignores China's goodwill and unreasonably imposes fentanyl tariffs on China. This is a typical bullying act that seriously undermines dialogue and cooperation between the two sides in the field of drug control. The US should be clear that smearing and attacking cannot cover up the US's own fault, and repaying kindness with grievances will not help solve the problem, and putting pressure and threats is not the right way to deal with China.
