China wants America to remove all extra taxes before any trade talks happen. They denied having any current discussions with President Trump. A top Chinese official called these taxes unfair at a press conference yesterday. He said all talk about ongoing negotiations lacks truth.
Trump hinted he might lower tariffs, which currently add 145 percent costs of most Chinese products. He claimed everything remains active with China, but Beijing shows no interest. The Chinese president refuses to take phone calls from Trump since his return to office. Chinese leaders need several things before starting real discussions.
They expect more respect first from American officials. They want Washington to name someone who leads trade talks. China also demands clearer positions about sensitive issues like Taiwan. American sanctions on Chinese companies remain another major problem between the two countries. Trump tried sounding positive about future relations, though tensions remain high.
