Beijing, June 02 (QNA) – The United States has seriously undermined the consensus reached during the China-US economic and trade talks in Geneva by successively introducing multiple discriminatory restrictive measures against China, China’s Ministry of Commerce said Monday.
These measures included issuing guidance on AI chip export controls, halting sales of chip design software to China, and announcing the revocation of visas for Chinese students, China’s (Xinhua) news agency quote a spokesperson for the ministry as saying.
These actions severely violated the consensus reached during a phone call between the two heads of state on Jan. 17 and gravely harmed China’s legitimate rights and interests, said the spokesperson.
The United States has unilaterally and repeatedly provoked new economic and trade frictions, exacerbating uncertainty and instability in bilateral economic and trade relations, according to the spokesperson.
“Instead of reflecting on its own actions, the United States has groundlessly accused China of violating the consensus, a claim that grossly distorts the facts. China firmly rejects these unjustified accusations,” the spokesperson said.
China and the United States held trade talks on May 10 in Geneva, marking a step toward defusing a trade war that has disrupted the global economy
