China newspaper says Trump's claims of winning trade war 'wishful thinking'
SHANGHAI, Aug 7 — A Chinese state newspaper today described as "wishful thinking" US President Donald Trump's belief that a fall in Chinese stocks was a sign of his winning the trade war and an example of his “ability to elasticise the truth.”
The commentary in the official China Daily comes as rhetoric in state media, which is actively controlled by Beijing, has taken an increasingly aggressive stance against Trump, a shift from their previous approach, which mostly limited direct criticism to US policies.
Yesterday, the Communist Party's People's Daily newspaper singled out Trump, saying he was starring in his own “street fighter-style deceitful drama of extortion and intimidation.”
China proposed retaliatory tariffs on US$60 billion (RM244.7 billion) worth of US goods ranging from liquefied natural gas (LNG) to some aircraft on Friday, following a proposal by the administration of US President Donald Trump for a higher 25 per cent tariff on US$200 billion worth of Chinese imports.
The paper referred to a Saturday Tweet by Trump which said “Tariffs are working far better than anyone anticipated. China market has dropped 27 per cent in last four months.”
China's stock market was performing poorly before the administration's tariff attack, said the China Daily, and is due in part to Beijing's attempts to cut corporate debt.
The US trade deficit climbed US$3 billion to US$46.3 billion in June, the first increase in four months, the US Commerce Department said on Friday, undermining Trump's claim that “tariffs are working big time” said the paper.
Trump has repeatedly criticised China for its trade deficit with the US, which he feels is a sign of unfair trade practices.
Despite the tariffs, China's exports are expected to have grown in July, according to a Reuters poll of economists. — Reuters
