Talks or no talks: Who blinks first in US-China trade war?
China's ministry of commerce announced that Beijing was assessing the possibility of tariff negotiations with the United States.
It was news the rest of the world had been waiting to hear as astonishingly high tariffs - up to 245% on some Chinese exports to the US - throttle trade between the world's two biggest economies, raising the spectre of a recession.
"US officials have repeatedly expressed their willingness to negotiate with China on tariffs,"
"China's position is consistent. If we fight, we will fight to the end; if we talk, the door is open... If the US wants to talk, it should show its sincerity and be prepared to correct its wrong practices and cancel unilateral tariffs."
"China has no need to talk to the United States," Yuyuantantian, a Weibo account affiliated with China Central Television (CCTV). "From the perspective of negotiations, the United States must be the more anxious party at present."
