A senior Chinese official said Tuesday the U. S. is putting “a knife to China’s neck” in its ongoing trade war with Beijing.
“Now that the United States has adopted such a huge trade restriction measure…how can the negotiations proceed? It’s not an equal negotiation,” Vice Commerce Minister Wang Shouwen said at a news conference in Beijing, according to Reuters .
The comments came a day after the Trump administration implemented its latest round of tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods and Beijing responded with levies on $60 billion worth of U. S. products in the two countries’ ongoing trade feud.
“If this continues, it will destroy in an instant the gains of the last four decades of China-U. S. relations,” Wang reportedly told members of the U. S.-China Business Council and National Committee on United States-China Relations.
