But Liu He tried to strike a constructive note, saying the hardest part of a marathon was the last stretch
By Anna Fifield and Anna Fifield Beijing bureau chief. Email Bio Follow Lyric Li May 11 at 6:21 AM BEIJING — China will not flinch in the face of American pressure to agree to a trade deal, Beijing’s chief negotiator said Saturday after the latest round of talks ended without agreement and higher tariffs were imposed on Chinese exports.
Liu arrived in Washington on Thursday for talks just a few hours before the Trump administration increased tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods had increased from 10 percent to 25 percent. The tariffs do not apply to goods in transit, only to those shipped after the tariffs were increased. That gives the two sides about two weeks before ships leaving China arrive on the United States’ west coast.
“On the issue of purchases, the state leaders of China and the U.S. reached a consensus during their meeting in Argentina and had a preliminary agreement on the numbers,” Liu said. “But the two sides are now disagreeing on how big the number should be. For China, we think this is a very serious issue and cannot compromise on it easily.
