The Chinese and U.S. delegations engaged in candid, in-depth and constructive discussions on economic and trade issues of mutual concern, including TikTok, a senior Chinese official said on Monday in Madrid, Spain.

The two sides fully acknowledge that a stable China-U.S. economic and trade relationship is highly important to both countries and also significantly impacts global economic stability and growth, said Li Chenggang, China's international trade representative with the Ministry of Commerce and vice minister of commerce, during a briefing.

Regarding the TikTok issue, China has always opposed politicization, instrumentalization, and weaponization of technology and economic-trade matters and will never seek to reach any agreement that compromises principles, company interests, or international fairness and justice, Li stated. China will firmly defend its national interests, the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies, and will carry out technology export approvals according to relevant laws and regulations.
