China, US at impasse over who should start trade talks ...Middle East

The Donald Trump administration has been ramping up pressure on China by raising import tariffs on Chinese goods in recent months. On Tuesday, the White House published a fact sheet stating that China now faces up to a 245% tariff.

“The unilateral tariff increases were entirely initiated by the United States,“ He Yongqian, a Chinese commerce ministry spokesperson, told a weekly news conference.

Washington said on Tuesday that Trump was open to making a trade deal with China but Beijing should make the first move and that “the ball is in China’s court”.

The commerce ministry has been maintaining working-level communication with its U.S. counterparts, she said, adding that China is open to economic and trade consultations with the United States.

But “the person who tied the bell must be the one who unties it,“ she said, using a Chinese proverb.
