The Chinese and U.S. delegations concluded their first day of talks on economic and trade issues in Spanish capital of Madrid on Sunday.
Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent led their respective teams. Both were welcomed by Spain's Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares at the Santa Cruz Palace.
From Sunday to Wednesday, the two sides will discuss issues such as U.S. unilateral tariff measures, the abuse of export controls, and TikTok, a spokesperson from China's Ministry of Commerce said on Friday.
TikTok is at the top of the agenda, with a potential U.S. ban deadline looming on Wednesday. The U.S. wants Chinese parent company ByteDance to sell it to a U.S. buyer, citing data and security concerns.In response, China's Ministry of Commerce denies any misconduct, asserting that it neither requires nor has ever compelled its citizens or companies to share data with the government in violation of local laws.
China's position on the TikTok issue is clear and consistent, the spokesperson said, adding that China is firmly committed to safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of its enterprises and will handle the TikTok issue in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations.
