China on Thursday said it was “maintaining communication” with the United States over economic and trade issues after Washington announced swingeing new tariffs.
“The trade and economic departments of China and the United States have been maintaining communication,” commerce ministry spokesman He Yadong said, adding Beijing “is willing to engage with the United States on important issues in bilateral trade”.
