Beijing: China reiterated its opposition to any trade deal that harms its interests, following the recent US-EU trade agreement. The statement from Beijing underscored the importance of safeguarding the world's second-largest economy from potentially damaging trade agreements.

According to Anadolu Agency, Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun emphasized the need for resolving economic and trade differences through dialogue. During a news conference in Beijing, he stressed that all parties should engage in discussions on equal footing, aiming to preserve a healthy environment for international trade and economic cooperation while adhering to WTO rules.

The US and the EU concluded a trade agreement on Sunday, announced by President Donald Trump after meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Scotland. This agreement ended months of uncertainty in the trade landscape.

Guo Jiakun firmly opposed any deals made at the expense of China's interests. He also commented on the upcoming trade talks between the US and China in Sweden, expressing hope that the US will collaborate with China to foster stable and sustainable development in their bilateral relations.

The third round of US-China trade talks, led by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, is set to take place in Stockholm, Sweden, continuing through July 30.
