以上是我需要向大家主动通报的信息，下面我愿意回答记者朋友们提出的问题。
The above are the information I want to inform you, and next I will answer the questions put forward by the journalists.
中新社记者：我们知道现在中美就经贸问题继续进行磋商，如果本轮磋商双方仍然不能达成共识，是不是意味着中美经贸摩擦将全面升级？中方对此有何准备？谢谢。
[无译文]
高峰：中方此次应邀访美，我们希望，中美双方能够相向而行，本着相互尊重、平等协商的原则，通过磋商妥善化解矛盾，管控分歧，取得积极的、建设性的成果，共同推动中美经贸合作向前发展。我们不希望看到中美经贸摩擦升级，当然，我们也做好了应对各种可能的准备。谢谢。
[无译文]
南华早报记者：美国总统特朗普本周初在社交媒体透露，已经指示美国商务部尽快安排中兴恢复业务，请问接下来的解决方案会怎么样安排？另外能否介绍一下在本周继续的新一轮的中美经贸磋商的相关安排？谢谢。
[无译文]
高峰：关于你提到的中兴公司案的问题，我们注意到美方近期的有关言论，希望美方有关部门尽快采取实际行动，公正、合理地解决此案。
[无译文]
关于此次中美经贸磋商的有关安排，目前中方代表团已经抵达华盛顿，并且已经开展了相关的工作。有关具体的情况我们将及时向大家进行通报，谢谢。
[无译文]
中央广播电视总台央广记者：关于刘鹤副总理访美的问题，请问这次中方应邀访美，双方可能重点在哪些领域会展开探讨？您认为中美双方有望达成哪些或者多大程度上的共识？另外能否透露一下目前双方在哪些领域还存在分歧？谢谢。
[无译文]
高峰：此次中方应邀访美，中美双方将就共同关心的经贸问题继续深入交换意见。我们希望通过中美双方的共同努力，能够扩大共识，管控并缩小分歧，共同维护好、发展好中美经贸关系，这符合双方的共同利益。谢谢。
[无译文]
中国国际电视台记者：我的问题是关于中兴，我们看到本周特朗普总统在推特上表示将会设法尽快恢复中兴的业务，但是我们之后看到报道，为了达成这一目的，实际上中方也付出了代价，其中就包括帮助美国农产品出口到中国，取消对猪肉等产品的惩罚性关税，还包括帮助美国企业在中国发展，涉及到高通的案子，我想请问一下是否属实？谢谢。
[无译文]
高峰：中美建交近40年来，双边经贸合作已经形成“你中有我、我中有你”的利益交融格局。中方始终认为，中美经贸关系的健康稳定发展，符合两国人民的根本利益，也有利于世界人民的福祉。
[无译文]
我想强调的是，中美之间的经贸合作，是市场形成的，也是靠市场力量推动发展的，应该符合市场经济规律，不可能搞计划经济那一套。我们会坚决捍卫自身利益，不会拿中方核心利益做交易。同时，中国正在积极推动产业结构调整，广大消费者希望有更好的生活品质，中方愿意从包括美国在内的世界各国扩大进口，也欢迎包括美国企业在内的世界各国企业来中国发展。希望美方取消不应有的贸易限制，提高供给能力，给予中国产品和中国投资公平、公正的待遇，推动两国经济优势互补，实现互利共赢。谢谢。
[无译文]
中央广播电视总台国广记者：当地时间15号美国举行了公开听证会，围绕此前公布的301调查建议对从中国进口的500亿美元产品加征关税的措施来听取各方的意见。听证会为期三天，将在22号做出是否加征关税的决定。请问商务部如何看待这次的听证会？
[无译文]
高峰：美国贸易代表办公室于5月15号召开有关听证会，就美方发起的301调查项下对中国产品征税的问题听取各有关利益攸关方的意见。对此我想再次强调，中方反对美方301调查的单边主义做法。
[无译文]
我们注意到，在已经公布的2000多份书面评论意见中，九成以上反对对中国产品加征关税。这充分说明美方301调查措施不得人心。我们希望美国政府认清民意，终止301调查的有关程序。
[无译文]
第一财经日报记者：也是一个关于中美经贸的问题，中美两国的贸易高官会和美国301调查对华采取贸易听证的时间好像有一些重合，双方将如何协调这个时间？还有消息称两个时间可能都会延后，商务部是否确认这个说法，请问有何评论？
[无译文]
高峰：此次中方应邀赴美，与美方的经济团队继续就两国的经贸问题进行磋商，与美方301调查听证会没有关系。中方对于美方301调查和拟采取措施的态度是一贯的。我们敦促美方终止301调查程序，为中美经贸合作营造良好的环境，推动两国业界实现合作共赢。
[无译文]
因为时间原因，我们再提最后一个问题。
[无译文]
经济日报记者：据报道，近日美方称希望看到中国向美产品开放市场的时间表，中方有何回应？谢谢。
[无译文]
高峰：习近平主席在今年的博鳌亚洲论坛上指出，中国将进一步扩大开放，并提出了四个方面的重大开放举措。有关部门正在按照“宜早不宜迟、宜快不宜慢”的精神抓紧落实。中国会根据自身发展的需要，按照自己的节奏和时间表，积极、稳妥、有序地不断扩大市场开放，使中国人民和世界各国人民都能享受到中国改革开放带来的红利。谢谢。
[无译文]
今天发布会到此结束。谢谢大家！
