# China's Foreign Ministry, Asked About U.S. Farm Purchases, Says Steady China-U.S. Trade Ties Serve Both Sides

> Asked whether China would begin meeting its U.S. agricultural purchase pledge only after the two sides implement their reciprocal tariff-reduction arrangement, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun referred the specifics to other authorities. He said stable China-U.S. trade relations benefit both countries but did not confirm whether purchases are conditional on tariff cuts.
