MOFCOM spokesperson Huang Ling, responding to remarks by EU trade and economic security commissioner Šefčovič, said China-EU consultations at all levels should preserve a stable, balanced China-EU trade partnership and address concerns on an equal footing. She said talks must not involve unilateral demands, imposed conditions or threats such as market closures. Huang reiterated China has repeatedly told the EU to face its own economic and trade problems and said China is not the root cause and can be a partner in resolving them.(金十数据)
