Chinese state media has expressed pessimism about whether trade talks with the United States should continue after Donald Trump threatened new tariffs within days of negotiations resuming last week.
“The US has again stepped back from their promises for two reasons: to pressure China into fulfilling [America’s] expectations in the deal, and to attain someone's political aims by meddling in the Sino-US trade talks,” the commentary said. Negotiations, which had been stalled since May, resumed at the start of the week with two days of high-level talks in Shanghai.
Beijing has condemned the US for the new tariff threats, but is still committed to another round of talks in Washington in September. On May 1 this year, China announced new curbs on the painkiller fentanyl after repeated requests by the United States to include such measures in a trade deal.
