问：有报道称，现在中美之间就贸易问题基本上没有了沟通。我想知道为什么中方不再多作一些努力和美方沟通呢？还是说中方已经努力了，但是美方拒绝对话？
答：中美作为两个大国，保持着国家间的正常沟通和交往，这是毫无问题的。
至于大家关注的贸易摩擦和如何避免贸易纠纷进一步升级，刚才我已经说过了，中方的立场，美方十分清楚。我必须强调，当前挑起这场摩擦、甚至有可能导致摩擦升级为贸易战的一方，并不是中国。我们从一开始就表明了立场，并且这一立场到现在没有变化，这一点大家非常清楚。
Q: There have been reports that there is essentially no communication between China and the US on trade at the moment. We are wondering why China has not made more efforts to try and contact the US side? Or if you have, but the US is refusing to talk?
A: As two major countries, China and the US maintain normal communication and exchanges. This is out of question.
As to the trade friction you are following and how to avoid escalation of trade dispute, like I just said, the US knows perfectly well China's stance. I shall stress that it is not the Chinese side that triggers this dispute or even possibly tries to escalate the dispute into a trade war. We have made clear our position at the very beginning, and our position remains unchanged till now. You must be all very clear about this.
