China, U.S. should address concerns through dialogue

China has always opposed unilateral measures to raise tariffs, which are not conducive to China, the United States and the world, said Commerce Ministry spokesman Gao Feng at a news conference on Thursday.

As the two largest economies in the world, economic and trade relations between China and the U.S. are mutually beneficial in nature, he said. The two sides should address each other's legitimate concerns through dialogue and consultation on the basis of mutual respect and equality, Gao added.
