From BBC NEWS: The increasingly tense trade relations between China and the US have taken a new twist, with Beijing warning that threats from Washington could damage both countries.
“Imposing pressure or sanctions to solve problems between the two will not be beneficial for China-US trade relations and will not be beneficial for the United States’ interests,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang said on Thursday.
The government in Beijing was responding to accusations in the US that China is engaging in unfair trade practices against the world’s biggest economy.
