Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lin Jian said on Friday that it is necessary for the Unite States and Russia to resolve issues through dialog and communication to improve the soured bilateral relations.

Lin made the statement at a regular press briefing in response to a large-scale prisoner swap on Thursday, which involved 26 individuals from the U.S., Germany, Russia, and other nations.

"We have noticed relevant media reports. The U.S. and Russia are both permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and influential powers. We hope the two sides can properly resolve issues emerging in bilateral ties through communication and dialog, which is conducive to international and regional peace and stability," said Lin.

China will resolutely safeguard its legitimate rights and interests in the face of new tariffs imposed by the United States, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on Monday.

At a regular press briefing in Beijing, Lin addressed a media query regarding the possibility of a meeting between Chinese and U.S. leaders to discuss tariff issues. "Regarding your specific question about the talks, I would refer you to competent Chinese authorities for further details. We have repeatedly emphasized that pressuring or threatening China is not a right way to engage with us. China will firmly defend its legitimate rights and interests," said the spokesman.

In a bold move to overhaul U.S. trade policy, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a new set of levies last week, imposing a 10-percent baseline tariff on imports from all trading partners, with higher rates applied to specific countries.
