Two days after President Donald Trump tweeted he was “very disappointed” in China
following Pyongyang’s latest missile test adding that “we will no longer allow this to continue”, Beijing has hit back at Trump on Monday, saying the problem did not
arise in China and that all sides need to work for a solution, according to a statement sent to Reuters by China’s Foreign Ministry.
“All parties should have a correct understanding of this,” it said, adding the international community widely recognized China’s efforts to seek a resolution. The essence of Sino-U. S. trade is mutual benefit and win-win, with a vast amount of facts proving the healthy development of business and trade ties is good for both countries, the ministry added. Chinese Vice Commerce Minister Qian Keming, weighed in too, telling a news conference there was no link between the North Korea issue and China-U. S. trade. “We think the North Korea nuclear issue and China-US trade are issues that are in two completely different domains. They aren’t related. They should not be discussed together,” Qian said.
