China Rejects U.S. Trade War Assumptions as Diplomatic Tensions Escalate
A senior Chinese diplomatic adviser has dismissed President Donald Trump’s approach to the ongoing trade war, asserting that Washington fundamentally misjudged Beijing’s resilience. The adviser emphasized that China would not yield to economic pressure, leaving the U.S. unprepared for the protracted tariff standoff.
Contradictory statements from both nations highlight the deepening rift. While Trump insists negotiations are underway, China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun flatly denies any recent discussions. The lack of coordination suggests neither side is willing to concede ground, prolonging market uncertainty.
