While China was “serious” about resolving the stand-off through talks, it would not be rolled over, despite concerns over a slowing economy and a falling stock market at home.

“The Trump administration should not be mistaken that China will surrender to the U.S. demands. It has enough fuel to drive its economy even if a trade war is prolonged.” 

On Thursday, Chinese officials welcomed an invitation from Washington for a new round of trade talks scheduled next week.

However, the US President Trump tweeted later on that “ee are under no pressure to make a deal with China, they are under pressure to make a deal with us. Our markets are surging, theirs are collapsing.”
