No End in Sight for the Trade War As China Stands Its Ground

The trade war keeps escalating with US and China standing firm in their positions


The trade war between US and China has precipitated once again after calming down for a few months at the start of this year. Tariffs have been increased by both sides and they’re even targeting each-other’s major companies, such as Huawei and Apple. Tones have obviously increased and today Chinese officials commented on a number of things.

China’s Foreign Ministry

  • China won’t accept a deal that hurts sovereignty, pride
  • US needs to address China’s concerns in order to reach a deal
  • China is firmly against US bullying, forced to retaliate
  • US consumers will have to pay the costs of tariffs
  • US bullying will eventually hurt the US itself
  • Tariffs won’t help to solve trade imbalances

China’s Commerce Ministry

  • China will fight till the end if US keeps escalating tensions
  • China will firmly defend national interest
  • Hopes that US will correct its wrong practices
  • US sincerity is in doubt
  • US sent contradictory messages on trade talks
