China's Conciliatory Stance Amid U.S. Trade Tensions

China has adopted a conciliatory approach in dealing with trade tensions with the U.S., as exemplified by its efforts to woo global business leaders at the China Development Forum. Premier Li Qiang emphasized the importance of dialogue over confrontation and reiterated China's commitment to economic globalization despite the 'fragmentation' caused by U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff policies. Amidst these tensions, China seeks to reassure multinational companies of its market openness and resilience, inviting investment from major firms like Apple and Pfizer. U.S. Senator Steve Daines' visit highlighted the potential for dialogue, even as China prepares for further tariff shocks. The forum also underscored China's strategy of positioning itself as a stabilizing force in the global economy, while expressing readiness to implement economic stimulus measures if necessary. This diplomatic outreach aims to mitigate the adverse impacts of U.S. tariffs and foster a more stable economic environment.
