BEIJING/WASHINGTON - China warned its companies operating in the United States on Tuesday they could face harassment from U.S. law enforcement agencies, as it also rebuffed U.S. criticism of a trade white paper as “singing the same old tune”.
Tensions rose sharply in May after U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration accused China of having “reneged” on its previous promises to make structural changes to its economic practices. “In recent days, there have been incidents of gun violence, robberies and thefts in the United States,” China’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism said.
Trump’s administration said on Monday that China was pursuing a “blame game” in recent public statements and a weekend white paper that misrepresented the trade negotiations. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told reporters that the United States was “singing the same old tune”, and urged Washington to read China’s white papers and stop telling itself it is infallible.
“The United States is disappointed that the Chinese have chosen in the ‘White Paper’ issued and recent public statements to pursue a blame game misrepresenting the nature and history of trade negotiations between the two countries,” USTR and Treasury said in the statement.
Hope everyone enjoys the fireworks this year! Keep this up and your patriotic 4th of July bash will be colorless. They could care less about continuing the fireworks business with US with such tariffs.
I assume we’re going to see some arrests of US citizens in China soon
I suspect that the Chinese population will have their social scores marked down accordingly should they have anything, ANYTHING to do with the US... Oh dear.
Those tariffs haven't worked because China will just do business with other countries and so will Mexico. 45 driving the American economy into the ground like all his bankrupt businesses
Thieves . ... the stealing ends now...
