China on Wednesday said the “door is wide open” for trade talks with the U.S. after President Donald Trump suggested that tariffs on Chinese imports could be substantially lowered.
Trump remarked Tuesday that the 145% tariffs imposed on Chinese goods were “very high” and would “come down substantially.” “They won’t go to zero, but they’ll be much lower,” he added.

The comments calmed global markets that had been rattled by Trump’s hardline trade stance, and China responded by reaffirming its openness to dialogue. “There are no winners in trade wars,” said Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun. “The door for talks is wide open.”
However, on Thursday, China’s Commerce Ministry stated that no trade talks had taken place yet and labeled reports of ongoing negotiations as “groundless and without factual basis.”
