Comments by China's commerce ministry

  • Will closely watch for changes in trade momentum
  • Sees strong trade momentum despite rising protectionism

So far, China has kept their responses to a minimum apart from requesting Canada to release Meng following the arrest over the weekend. Let's see if there will be any further developments to come.
