China says wants 'calm' resolution to US trade war

BEIJING: China is willing to resolve its trade dispute with the United States through "calm" negotiations and resolutely opposes the escalation of the conflict, Vice Premier Liu He, who has been leading the talks with Washington, said on Monday.
 
The increasingly bitter trade war between the world's two largest economies sharply escalated on Friday, with both sides levelling more tariffs on each other's exports.
 
U.S. President Donald Trump announced an additional duty on some $550 billion of targeted Chinese goods on Friday, hours after China unveiled retaliatory tariffs on $75 billion worth of U.S. goods.
 
However, Trump appeared on Sunday to back off on his threat to order U.S. companies out of China.
 
Liu, speaking at a tech conference in southwest China's Chongqing, said nobody benefited from a trade war.
 
"We are willing to resolve the issue through consultations and cooperation in a calm attitude and resolutely oppose the escalation of the trade war," Liu, who is President Xi Jinping's top economic adviser, said, according to a government transcript.
 
"We believe that the escalation of the trade war is not beneficial for China, the United States, nor to the interests of the people of the world," he added.
 
U.S. companies are especially welcome in China, and will be treated well, Liu said.
 
"We welcome enterprises from all over the world, including the United States, to invest and operate in China," he added.
 
"We will continue to create a good investment environment, protect intellectual property rights, promote the development of smart intelligent industries with our market open, resolutely oppose technological blockades and protectionism, and strive to protect the completeness of the supply chain."
 
It was not clear exactly how Trump could get U.S. companies to leave China.
 
U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Trump could order companies out of China under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act if he declared a national emergency.
 
The trade war has damaged global growth, upset allies, and raised market fears that the world economy will tip into a recession.
 
Global stock markets reeled on Monday after the latest measures, while China's yuan currency fell to a fresh 11-year low. Investors streamed into the safe harbours of sovereign bonds and gold.
 
Chinese state media on Monday blasted the United States.
 
The official China Daily said in an editorial that Washington would "never be allowed to control China's fate".
 
"It has become unquestionably clear that his administration's tariff war against China is politically motivated. What Washington wants from its largest trade partner is for it to be content to play second fiddle and meekly do as it demands," the English-language paper wrote in an editorial.
 
"Washington has again taken the initiative to escalate the fight in the hope that Beijing will throw in the sponge as early as possible. But Beijing regards the trade war as an unavoidable trial by fire, from which the country will emerge stronger."
 
The Global Times, a widely-read tabloid published by the ruling Communist Party's official People's Daily, said leaving the Chinese market would be "suicide" for U.S. companies, especially for auto firms.
 
"U.S. companies are welcome to invest and operate in the Chinese market, but if some U.S. companies want to obey Trump's order and join Washington's trade war, the result is bleak. A decision to give up the Chinese market is just suicide," the paper said in its editorial.

Beijing has cast doubt on whether trade talks are set to resume, with its foreign ministry contradicting US President Donald Trump’s claim that China had sought a return to the negotiating table and state media saying the countries were in touch only at a “technical level”. (SCMP)

No Hong Kong housing crisis if ex-leader Tung Chee-hwa had stuck to goal of 85,000 flats a year.
“However under the pressure of public opinion, especially the opposition bloc in the Legislative Council, we couldn’t continue our push,”


The Pan-Democrats responsible for the housing crisis. They fear the value of their apartments will come down.

I finally figured out why HK youths so violently anti China.....It starts from the schools. Liberal studies is a compulsory subject in HK. Liberal studies textbook very anti China. Liberal studies is the poison.

Several years ago, they wanted to introduce patriotic studies and was soon dropped after violent protests.

HK pride is in their being not China.

Too bad those in charge of education did not update their perceptions. When One country two systems was invented, Shenzhen was a fishing village, today Shenzhen GDP larger than HK.

Liberal studies just like falungung and those Tiannanmeng anniversaries have poisoned those HK youths....including their teachers and professors.....It is only the business communities who are in touch with reality.

2019-08-28 12:11

Icon8888

it is a subject that HK Ministry of Education gives schools flexibility to design their own textbooks

so the schools come up with all kind of nonsense, badmouthing China and sowing hatred among the youth

2019-08-28 12:15

Icon8888

another reason of the current riot is because almost all HK judges are whites

legacy of British colonialism

judges don't change just because of change of government. They are changed when they retire or die (just like US)

so you have all these kwailo senior judges up there protecting the rioters

they sentence rioters to few days jail but sentenced police that uses force to several years

that is why the police also cannot effectively control the situation

2019-08-28 12:19

Icon8888

another factor is the Vietnamese population there

during Vietnam war, the british let a lot of Vietnamese to migrate to HK

now their descendants are strongly anti china

now they are on the streets

(according to a video on youtube)

China practices state capitalism; the government owns many large firms and decides which industries will receive subsidies, protected markets and favorable loans.
