China Calls US Moves “Seriously Contrary to the Facts” in Trade Row

China has dismissed U.S. claims of a trade agreement violation as “seriously contrary to the facts,” stating that the U.S. should instead “reflect on itself.” This firm rebuttal comes after China itself criticized the U.S. for new AI chip export controls and proposed student visa revocations, which Beijing views as breaches of the recent tariff truce. The diplomatic war of words escalates.
The Chinese Commerce Ministry’s statement directly addressed President Trump’s assertion that China “HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US,” emphasizing that the U.S. was making “unreasonable accusations.” This escalating blame game highlights the deep-seated animosity that continues to plague U.S.-China relations, despite attempts at a temporary de-escalation.
China maintains it has upheld its commitments by adjusting its own tariffs and non-tariff measures. However, Beijing contends that the U.S. has unilaterally created “new economic and trade frictions,” exacerbating uncertainty. With both sides engaging in public accusations and threats, the 90-day truce remains highly precarious, leaving businesses and investors in a state of continued apprehension.
