郭嘉昆中方已多次就中美经贸问题阐明立场。贸易战、关税战没有赢家，损害的是各国人民的利益。我们坚决反对美方单方面加征关税的做法，双方应通过平等和相互尊重的对话与协商解决各自关切。中方将继续采取必要措施，坚定维护自身正当权益。

Guo Jiakun China has stated its position more than once on the China-U.S. economic and trade ties. Trade wars and tariff wars have no winners and hurt the interests of people of all countries. We firmly oppose the U.S. unilateral tariff hikes. The two sides need to address each other’s concerns through dialogue and consultation on the basis of equality and mutual respect. China will continue to do what is necessary to firmly safeguard our legitimate rights and interests.

郭嘉昆2月19日至21日，在国际原子能机构组织下，包括中国在内的多国专家赴福岛第一核电站排海设施和附近海域，独立采集待排放核污染水、海水等样本，并参与采集海洋生物样本。这是日方落实在福岛核污染水排海问题上承诺的具体步骤。今后，对福岛核污染水排海的国际监测和中方的独立取样监测将持续实施，中方将及时发布最新进展。
