China cancels trade talks with U.S. as tariff threats escalate

China Materials 22 September 2018 08:27 (UTC +04:00)

China has canceled upcoming trade talks with the United States and will not send vice-premier Liu He to Washington next week, Reuters reported citing the Wall Street Journal.

The Wall Street Journal said a mid-level delegation was due to travel to Washington ahead of Liu’s visit, but the trip has now been abandoned.

Earlier this week, China added $60 billion of U.S. products to its import tariff list as it retaliated against U.S. duties on $200 billion of Chinese goods set to go into effect from Sept. 24.
