China reaffirms that it hopes the US stops discriminating Chinese firms
- Says the coronavirus and US restrictions have impacted imports
- But it has been fulfilling its commitments on the trade deal
The message here comes ahead of planned talks between the two countries to assess the Phase One trade deal over the weekend. This is largely just some posturing but given how both sides have much at stake, don't expect any major escalation to follow.
The meeting should largely just reaffirm that both sides are still talking and communicating to "do their best" in making the trade deal work. As the saying goes, the show must go on.
