China on Thursday reaffirmed its commitment to multilateral and bilateral monetary and financial cooperation, emphasizing its active role in global macroeconomic policy coordination and the development of international financial rules.

The statement came during a routine press briefing by Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun, in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s remarks at the Davos Forum calling for measures to prevent China from gaining influence in the cryptocurrency sector.

Guo stressed that China maintains a consistent, open, and cooperative approach to global financial governance and encouraged inquiries on specific regulatory matters to be directed to the relevant Chinese authorities. The spokesperson’s comments reflect China’s position that it seeks constructive engagement in international financial systems while maintaining its own regulatory framework for emerging digital assets.

China’s response underscores its intention to remain actively involved in shaping global financial norms, signaling both a defense of its domestic policies and a commitment to international coordination, amid growing U.S. scrutiny of China’s role in cryptocurrency markets.
