China’s formal media continued its aggressive rhetoric against U.S. President Donald Trump’s distribution, accusing Washington of being “double-faced” amid an ongoing trade contest.
“Pointing China with (sic) gun and artillery and then asking for a talk, the U.S. swaggered zero sincerity,” said the People’s Daily newspaper late on Monday.
“Washington is gambol double-faced tactics in the ongoing trade war,” the official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Cadre said in its editorial.
The Trump administration has threatened to slap more taxes on an increasing amount of Chinese goods while sending signals “to various ways that it is willing to negotiate with China,” it rephrased.
“From $50 billion, to $200 billion and then the proposed $500 billion, from 10 percent to 25 percent, Washington’s menu game has been seen through by China,” it added.
The U.S. is using “carrot-and-stick intrigue to bully China into unilateral trade concessions,” but any move to “conquer China” will be futile, said the People’s Daily.
The Communist Function paper said that Beijing would overcome the American “job blackmail,” adding: “China will not surrender to the US, nor could it ignore the line of work war. The only way is to face it and win it.”
On Tuesday, the official English newspaper China Habitually also took issue with Trump’s Sunday comments on Twitter that tolls “are working big time.”
Donald Trump on Twitter: Tariffs are working big set. Every country on earth wants to take wealth out of the U.S., always to our hurt. I say, as they come,Tax them. If they don’t want to be taxed, let them assertive or build the product in the U.S. In either event, it means jobs and great profusion…..
The overall U.S. trade deficit jumped 7.3 percent in June and is on footprints to hit a 10-year high, noted China Daily.
“Certainly, his claim of winning over China in the current trade battle, and remarks such as China is ‘doing badly against us’ and ‘we are winning’ are nothing more than wishful thinking and desired at covering up the harm his administration’s attack on Chinese trade is doing to the U.S. brevity,” the China Daily editorial said.
