On April 30, according to CCTV News, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiajun hosted a regular press conference. A reporter asked whether there had been any negotiations or contact between China and the United States regarding tariffs in the past 24 hours. Guo Jiajun stated that, to my knowledge, there have been no consultations or negotiations between China and the United States on the tariff issue.

What can I say? Should I say that Trump is lying or that the U.S. Treasury is lying? But I would prefer to believe the Chinese spokesperson, so the tariffs have entered the second phase, with greater uncertainty, so we must be very cautious. It won't be so easy to land smoothly; a major thunderstorm could occur at any time in the second phase.
