A trade deal with the United States might be among the casualties as China vows a strong response to a bill passed by the House of Representatives, which calls on the government to act against China over its treatment of the Uighur Muslim minority
BEIJING/WASHINGTON - China warned on Wednesday that U.S. legislation calling for a tougher response to Beijing’s treatment of its Uighur Muslim minority will affect bilateral cooperation, clouding prospects for a near-term deal to end a trade war.
With a new round of U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods scheduled to take effect in less than two weeks, the possibility of another breakdown is growing. Hua said China would set no timeline or deadline for a trade deal and would take “decisive” countermeasures to defend its interests if what she called U.S. protectionism and bullying over trade continued.A Chinese official who declined to be identified warned that U.S. implementation of the new round of tariffs scheduled on Dec. 15 would be countered by China with retaliatory tariffs - an outcome the official said would seriously disrupt talks.
Vice Foreign Minister Qin Gang made “stern representations” to William Klein, the U.S. embassy’s minister counselor for political affairs, and urged the United States to stop interfering in China’s domestic affairs, state TV reported.“We continue to call on to immediately release all those arbitrarily detained, and to end its draconian policies that for more than two years have terrorized its own citizens in Xinjiang,” it said in a statement.
