Comments by China's foreign ministry

  • Urges US to create fair environment for Chinese companies
  • Says that Trump's tweet on US farmers confuses the truth
  • Says that US is the one defining the trade dispute as being a trade war
  • Says that China is only taking actions in self defense

This certainly feels like similar comments to what we have seen some time last year when trade talks weren't really making much progress. That pretty much sums up how things have progressed over the past week.

Round and round we go, but alas we're back to square one again.
