China: Canada's attempt to link US-China trade matter to other issues is doomed to fail

Comments by the Chinese foreign ministry

• Canadian PM Trudeau has asked the US not to sign any trade deal with China until two Canadians are released

It is quite clear that other matters will not get in the way of the Phase One trade deal because if either the US or China really wants a reason to pull away from talks, they already have more than a handful to choose from if they so will.
