CHINA: China will not compromise on its core interests for a solution in the

trade talks with the U.S., Ministry of Commerce said Thursday at a press

briefing. As Chinese Vice Premier Liu He leads Chinese officials to discuss

trade with U.S. counterparts in Washington, Gao Feng, spokesman of the ministry,

said China will firmly defend its interest, and it continues to urge the U.S. to

end the 301 investigation. China has already prepared for all possible outcomes

of the trade talks, said Gao. China will actively, steadily and methodically

further open up its market, but it should be at China's own pace, Gao said. Gao

said the U.S. should "take real action" to address the ZTE problem, as its

operations were seriously affected after the U.S. banned American companies from

trade with the Chinese company.
