More details on China saying it will not boost quotas for agriculture imports from the US

I posted earlier on this here:

• Reports that China will not increase its annual import purchase quotas of farm goods from the US

More details have come to light, in brief:

• China will not increase its annual low-tariff import quotas for corn, wheat and rice to accommodate stepped-up purchases of farm goods from the United States
• Says senior agriculture official Han Jun
• The report raises further questions about how China will meet a target of spending billions of dollars more on US agricultural goods as the two countries look to reach an initial agreement to calm an extended trade war.
• Han was quoted by Caixin on Tuesday as saying the quota is offered to global markets and "we won't adjust it for one country."
• The agriculture ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
