Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian reiterated on Tuesday that pressuring and coercion are not the right way to engage China. China calls on the U.S. to respect the facts, stop spreading disinformation, reverse the wrongdoings, and act to uphold the consensus.

Lin made the remarks at a regular press briefing, during which a reporter noted that the U.S. has repeatedly claimed that China violated the common understandings reached at the China-U.S. economic and trade meeting in Geneva and took a series of negative moves recently, and asked China's response.

Lin said that the spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce has made clear China's position on that. The Geneva consensus was reached in line with the principle of mutual respect and equal-footed consultation. China has been responsibly and faithfully implementing the consensus.

"Without any factual ground, the U.S. falsely accuses China of violating the Geneva consensus, and has issued harmful extreme measures against China such as new chip export controls, blocking EDA sales, and pledging to revoke Chinese students' visas. Those actions have seriously disrupted the Geneva consensus and hurt China's legitimate rights and interests. China firmly opposes them and has strongly protested to the U.S.," Lin said.
