Chinese state media blamed the U.S. for a lack of progress in trade talks while emphasizing China’s economic resilience, as the world awaits details on measures Beijing has promised in retaliation for the U.S. raising tariffs on Chinese goods.
People’s Daily, the flagship newspaper of China’s Communist Party, said in a front-page commentary that the U.S. should take full responsibility for the setbacks because it went back on its word and imposed more levies on Chinese products. “That cast a shadow on the trade talks and directly led to the fruitless outcome” of trade discussions, the paper said.
