The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answers questions about the progress of TikTok issues

According to Golden Finance, from September 14 to 15 local time, China and the United States held talks in Madrid, Spain, and reached a basic framework consensus on properly resolving TikTok-related issues through cooperation, reducing investment barriers, and promoting relevant economic and trade cooperation. On the evening of September 19, the heads of state of China and the United States held a telephone conversation, exchanged frankly and in-depth views on current Sino-US relations and issues of common concern, and provided strategic guidance on the stable development of Sino-US relations in the next stage. China's position on the TikTok issue is clear. The Chinese government respects the wishes of enterprises and is happy to see that enterprises conduct business negotiations on the basis of complying with market rules and reach solutions that comply with China's laws and regulations and balance of interests. We hope that the US and China will move forward, earnestly fulfill their corresponding commitments, provide an open, fair, just and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese companies, including TikTok, to continue to operate in the United States, and promote the stable, healthy and sustainable development of China-US economic and trade relations.
