At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 25th, a reporter asked, “According to reports, U.S. government sources said that China and the U.S. are still negotiating on the fentanyl issue, but that China is ‘not sincere enough,’ and that the U.S. may impose more punitive measures to force China to take substantive action. What is China’s comment on this?”
Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Guo Jiakun responded, “Fentanyl is America’s problem, not China’s problem. The responsibility lies with the U.S. itself. The U.S. has disregarded China’s goodwill and unjustly imposed tariffs on fentanyl-related products from China. This is a typical act of bullying and has seriously undermined dialogue and cooperation between the two sides in the field of drug control. The U.S. should understand that smearing and attacking others cannot cover up its own failures, repaying kindness with resentment will not help solve the problem, and exerting pressure and threats is not the right way to deal with China.”
