Here is the full statement from the Chinese embassy on the trade war

Post is early here with China not backing down from disputing President Trump's tariffs against China:

• China says not afraid of trade war, will defend its interests

If you'd like more, the statement in full (issued by China's embassy in Washington DC)

As I said in that post linked above, and have done ever since the tariffs were first proposed .... an AUD negative .... and it getting worse

I posted earlier AUD levels to watch here AUD/USD - heads up for some early levels to watch for

Support is the vulnerable side
