China’s government wants tariffs to be rolled back as part of the phase one trade deal with the U.S., Global Times said in a tweet on Sunday, citing unidentified people in Beijing.

The paper reported that a U.S. pledge to scrap scheduled Dec. 15 tariffs cannot replace the rollback in existing ones. Global Times is a tabloid run by the Communist Party of China’s flagship People’s Daily newspaper.
