The onus is now on Washington to decide whether it will approach the negotiating table as an equal partner seeking mutually acceptable solutions," she added.她进一步指出：“中方始终愿与美方开展对话，但对话必须建立在相互尊重、平等相待的基础之上。当前，美方需作出抉择：是否以平等伙伴的身份坐到谈判桌前，寻求双方都能接受的解决方案。”On Saturday, the Ministry of Commerce responded to a US move to add multiple Chinese entities to its export control list.

But we must not lose sight of the broader truth: China and the US remain deeply intertwined."杜克大学福库商学院教授约翰・奎尔奇表示：“近期在技术和供应链等领域出现的‘脱钩’趋势，反映出各方对依赖风险和脆弱性的深层担忧。但我们不能忽视一个更重要的事实：中美经济仍深度交融。”He said the two sides must search for new equilibrium, one that balances competition with cooperation, and national interest with global responsibility.他认为，双方需寻求新的平衡，在竞争与合作之间、国家利益与全球责任之间找到平衡点。Olaf Schmidt, vice-president of Messe Frankfurt Exhibition, a German trade fair and event organizer, said his company has always championed global free trade, believing that it is vital to connect people, products and markets.德国展会运营商法兰克福展览集团副总裁奥拉夫・施密特表示，集团始终倡导全球自由贸易，坚信自由贸易对于连接人与人、产品与市场至关重要。multilateraladj.多边的；涉及多方的/ˌmʌltiˈlætərəl/frictionn.摩擦；矛盾；不和/ˈfrɪkʃn/unilateraladj.单边的；单方面的/ˌjuːnɪˈlætrəl/onusn.责任；义务；负担/ˈəʊnəs/decouplingn.脱钩；分离/ˌdiːˈkʌplɪŋ/
