Two Chinese officials said that Beijing is not talking with the US.
Bejing is throwing cold water on President Donald Trump’s hopes for lessening tensions between the world’s two largest economies, whose trade war has roiled global markets.
On Wednesday, Trump told reporters that the two sides were « actively » talking. On Thursday, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said conversations had yet to begin.
« None of that is true », Spokesperson Guo Jiakun told reporters during the Foreign Ministry’s daily news conference.
