Excerpt:
Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao on Tuesday urged Japanese business leaders to “join hands” with Beijing, as the world’s second-largest economy remains engaged in a tariff war with the United States following President Donald Trump’s return to the White House last month.
In talks with a Japanese business delegation led by Masakazu Tokura, chairman of the Japan Business Federation, known as Keidanren, and other officials, Wang called for a “rules-based settlement” of the trade conflict between Beijing and Washington, apparently referring to a mechanism under the World Trade Organization.
The world’s two largest economies imposed additional tariffs on each other’s imports earlier this month, with China also filing a complaint with the WTO over the new U.S. duties.
