Beijing-Sana
BEIJING - China is not afraid of confrontation with the United States in the event of a trade war between the two countries, Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Monday, adding that Beijing is willing to reach a preliminary trade deal with Washington.
"When necessary, we will defend, but we are actively working in an effort not to have a trade war," Xi was quoted as telling participants at the New Economy Forum in Beijing. Mutual equality and equality. ”
His comments come two days after US President Donald Trump signaled that Beijing had "not made enough concessions" so far to allow a deal.
Trade relations between China and the United States have recently been severely strained when the US president imposed more than $ 200 billion on Chinese imports and goods in a desperate attempt to pressure Beijing to make illegal trade concessions, which China responded with similar measures within its natural right of reply.
China has warned the United States that US consumers and businesses will fall victim to the indiscriminate use of Trump's decision to increase tariffs on Chinese goods.
