A reporter asked: It's reported that China and the United States reached a basic framework consensus on the TikTok issue during talks in Madrid. On September 19, the two presidents also exchanged views on the TikTok issue in a phone call. Could the Ministry of Commerce provide further information on the relevant progress? A: From September 14th to 15th, local time, China and the United States held talks in Madrid, Spain, and reached a basic framework consensus on properly resolving TikTok-related issues through cooperation, reducing investment barriers, and promoting relevant economic and trade cooperation. On the evening of September 19th, the two presidents held a candid and in-depth phone call, exchanging views on the current Sino-US relations and issues of common concern, and providing strategic guidance for the stable development of Sino-US relations in the next stage. China's position on the TikTok issue is clear. The Chinese government respects the wishes of companies and welcomes them to conduct commercial negotiations based on market rules and reach a solution that complies with Chinese laws and regulations and balances interests. We hope that the US will work with China to meet halfway and earnestly fulfill its commitments to provide an open, fair, just, and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese companies, including TikTok, to continue operating in the US, and to promote the stable, healthy, and sustainable development of Sino-US economic and trade relations.
