China accuses US of ‘seriously violating' trade truce, vows countermeasures
China said on Monday the United States is 'seriously violating' a trade truce between the two countries, days after a similar accusation was levelled at Beijing by US President Donald Trump, signalling renewed tension between the economic powers, the Financial Times reported. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce stated on Monday that Washington is 'seriously violating' the truce and pledged to 'take strict measures to defend its interests.' The ministry added that the United States has imposed 'a series of discriminatory and restrictive measures in recent weeks, which undermined the trade agreement signed in Geneva, and harmed China's legitimate rights and interests.' In the statement, the ministry threatened to continue 'taking strong and firm measures' to protect 'China's legitimate rights' if the United States insists on 'going its own way, and harming Chinese interests.' 'The United States has unilaterally provoked new trade frictions (…) and instead of reflecting on its actions, has made baseless accusations against us of violating the agreement,' the ministry continued. Among the US measures cited in the statement were warnings against the global use of Huawei Technologies' chips, a halt on sales of chip design software to Chinese companies, and the cancellation of visas for Chinese students. China and the United States had agreed during talks in Geneva in early May to an accord that would temporarily reduce mutual tariffs, which had reportedly risen as high as 145%. Trump: China Violated the Agreement Earlier on Friday, US President Donald Trump said China had 'completely violated' the agreement, as US officials have grown increasingly frustrated with the slow pace of rare earth metal exports across the Pacific since the 12 May agreement. Trump told reporters he hoped to resolve the dispute via a telephone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping, an idea he has proposed several times in recent months but which has not yet materialised. US officials had believed the 12 May agreement, which stemmed from the early May talks in Geneva, would ease Chinese export restrictions on rare earths that were revealed in early April. However, China has maintained its export system while slowly approving shipments to the United States, according to reports. These vital metals are widely used in US automotive, electronics, and defence supply chains, and the slow pace of exports to the United States poses an increasing threat of work stoppages in the US manufacturing sector. Under the agreement between China and the United States, both sides suspended most tariffs, a move welcomed by investors and businesses worldwide. However, since the Geneva accord, Beijing has continued its slow process for approving export licences for rare earths and other elements necessary for manufacturing cars and chips, among other items. Earlier this week, the US administration took steps to cancel entry visas for Chinese students and also suspended the sale of some vital technologies to Chinese companies. Subsequently, China urged the United States to end 'discriminatory restrictions' against it, calling for cooperation in maintaining the 'consensus' reached during the high-level talks in Geneva.

China says US is ‘provoking frictions' as tensions flare despite trade truce
Hong Kong CNN — China has accused the United States of 'provoking new economic and trade frictions' as it responded to US President Donald Trump's claims that Beijing had violated a trade truce agreed by the two nations last month, which paused their blistering tariff war. China was 'strictly implementing' the consensus of those trade talks, the Chinese Commerce Ministry said in a statement Monday, while blaming the US for taking steps that 'seriously undermine' the agreement. 'The United States has been unilaterally provoking new economic and trade frictions, exacerbating the uncertainty and instability of bilateral economic and trade relations,' the statement said. 'If the United States insists on its own way and continues to undermine China's interests, China will continue to take resolute and forceful measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests,' it added. The comments come after Trump on Friday said China had 'TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US.' In a post on Truth Social, the US president said that he made a fast deal with China to 'save them from what I thought was going to be a very bad situation.' He added: 'So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!' The back and forth spotlights a ratcheting up of tensions between the US and China just weeks after the two sides reached the surprise trade truce in Geneva, which significantly dialed down the hefty tariffs that each imposed on the other in April. That agreement gave the two sides a 90-day window to hash out a broader deal, an effort that now appears imperiled as each side accuses the other of working against the spirit of that agreement. US officials have described talks as 'stalled' and suggested that the involvement of Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping is needed to jumpstart progress. President Donald Trump speaks at US Steel Corporation's Mon Valley Works-Irvin plant on May 30, 2025, in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania. Julia Demaree Nikhinson/AP A key point of contention has been Beijing's export controls on rare earth minerals and associated products, which were imposed as part of its retaliation against Trump's 'reciprocal' tariffs on Chinese goods. Following the talks, US officials had expected China to ease export restrictions of those minerals, which are an essential part of everything from iPhones and electric vehicles to big-ticket weapons like F-35 fighter jets and missile systems. But the restrictions haven't been lifted, causing intense displeasure inside the Trump administration and prompting a recent series of measures imposed on China, three administration officials told CNN last week. Meanwhile, Beijing accused the US last month of 'undermining' the consensus reached in Geneva, after Washington warned companies against using AI chips made by its national tech champion Huawei. In a further escalation of tensions, the US then last week also moved to limit critical technology sales to China and restrict the number of Chinese students studying in the US –spotlighting how the scope of their competition is much broader than just trade. In the Monday statement, China's Commerce Ministry hit out at these measures, saying the US has 'successively introduced a number of discriminatory restrictive measures against China after the Geneva Economic and Trade Talks, including issuing AI chip export control guidelines, stopping the sale of chip design software to China, and announcing the revocation of Chinese student visas.' Beijing, as well as other Asian capitals, is also feeling the pressure of trade frictions at home. China's manufacturing activity shrank for a second month in May, an official survey showed on Saturday. Tariffs imposed this year on Chinese goods entering the US, its largest export market, currently stand at 30%, not including any pre-existing duties. Critical mineral concerns Trump administration officials have homed in on China's controls on exports of rare earths in their assessments of China's compliance with the agreement reached in Geneva. The deal saw the two sides dial back during the 90-day grace period mutual tariffs that had soared to well over 100%. It also included an agreement from China to 'suspend or remove' non-tariff countermeasures taken against the US since April 2.

Costfoto/NurPhoto/Getty Images China on April 4 imposed export controls on seven rare earth minerals and associated products in what was seen as a retaliation against Trump's duties on its goods. Its export control regime does not ban exports outright but requires government approval for each shipment regardless of destination, enabling greater control over a supply chain that China has come to dominate globally. That system appeared to remain in place last month following the talks, CNN reporting showed. During an interview that aired Sunday with CBS' Face the Nation, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said China was 'withholding some of the products that they agreed to release' in Geneva, referring to critical minerals. 'Maybe it's a glitch in the Chinese system, maybe it's intentional,' he added, noting that the issue would be 'ironed out' when Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping have a call, which Bessent said he believes will happen 'very soon.' The two leaders are known to have last spoken on January 17, days before Trump's inauguration. China has defended its export control regime, describing it last week as 'in line with international practices' and 'not targeted at specific countries.' When asked about its export controls on rare earth minerals, part of a wider category of critical minerals, during a regular press briefing Friday, a spokesperson for China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Beijing was 'willing to strengthen dialogue and cooperation in the field of export controls with relevant countries and regions.' Speaking to CNN on Friday, former US Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns said Beijing had been 'difficult' in negotiations thus far, withholding rare earths and not fulfilling 'the promises that were apparently made in that Geneva meeting.' 'A lot of this is on China – China has been the most disruptive force in global trade over the last 25 to 30 years,' said Burns, who was ambassador during the former Biden administration. 'China has to prove to the United States on intellectual property, on forced technology transfer, that it's going to be a responsible trading partner of the United States.'

Most stocks fall as Trump fires fresh volley in trade war - Economy
Stocks mostly sank with the dollar on Monday after Donald Trump last week lobbed a fresh trade missile by doubling tariffs on steel and aluminium and accused China of violating last month's agreement to slash tit-for-tat levies. The US president's comments were followed by claims by his commerce secretary that Beijing had been slow to implement the deal, which helped rally markets last month and fanned hopes for a lasting detente between the world's top economies. Still, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent -- who last week warned negotiations with China were "a bit stalled" -- said the US leader could speak with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping "very soon" in talks that could help break the impasse. The latest salvos from the White House came as it faces a legal battle after a trade court on Wednesday blocked Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff blitz, saying he had overstepped his authority with the across-the-board taxes. An appeals court gave the levies a stay of execution on Thursday but the wrangle could drag on, causing more uncertainty. Trump said Friday he would jack up steel and aluminium to 50 percent, from 25 percent, which he said "will even further secure the steel industry". He also claimed Beijing had "totally violated" last month's agreement with China to cut eye-watering tariffs for 90 days to hammer out a broader package. Later, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told "Fox News Sunday" that Beijing had been "slow-rolling the deal". Chinese officials accused Washington of making "bogus charges and unreasonably accused China of violating the consensus, which is seriously contrary to the facts". The developments have thrown the trade war back into the spotlight after tensions had eased following the China detente and indications that governments were working on deals with US officials. "As we await whether the 90-day truce will result in a more permanent resolution, we are left wondering what may happen if progress stalls and the US and China are unable to make a deal," said Kai Wang, Asia equity market strategist at Morningstar. "Trump is already making headlines again on reimposing EU tariffs. "Should this happen with the EU or China, markets will likely crater again and will see much greater volatility given the heightened uncertainty with regard to global growth." Asian markets sank Monday as investors brushed off data showing the Federal Reserve's favoured inflation gauge cooled more than expected last month. Hong Kong was hit by selling in property firms fuelled by worries over the future of New World Development after it deferred interest payments on some bonds. The firm is in the middle of a loan refinancing drive as it looks to raise more than US$11 billion from banks. Its struggles have revived fears about China's property sector as companies struggle to sell stock to help pay off their bulging debts. Tokyo, Sydney, Singapore, Taipei, Mumbai and Jakarta also fell along with London, Paris and Frankfurt. Seoul and Manila were marginally higher, while Shanghai was closed for a holiday. Oil prices surged after OPEC and other key producers hiked output for July but less than expected, while geopolitical fears were ramped up after Ukraine hit air bases deep inside Russia, raising concerns over an escalation of the three-year war. The dollar retreated against its peers on concerns about the US economy as Trump continues to push a bill to extend tax cuts and slash welfare spending, which observers say will add trillions to the already gargantuan national debt. That has sent shivers through the Treasuries market, with yields pushing higher as investors seek out better returns for lending the government money. Worries about US debt led Moody's to lower the United States last top-ranking credit rating, warning it expects US federal deficits to widen dramatically over the next decade. Meanwhile, JPMorgan Chase chief executive Jamie Dimon voiced concern Sunday at the risk of a looming US debt market crisis sparked by Trump's policies. "It's a big deal. It is a real problem," Dimon told Maria Bartiromo on FOX Business Network's "Mornings with Maria" show, according to an excerpt of the interview that will air in full Monday. "The bond market is going to have a tough time. I don't know if it's six months or six years," he said. - Key figures at around 0810 GMT - Tokyo - Nikkei 225: DOWN 1.3 percent at 37,470.67 (close) Hong Kong - Hang Seng Index: DOWN 0.6 percent at 23,157.97 (close) Shanghai - Composite: Closed for a holiday London - FTSE 100: DOWN 0.2 percent at 8,756.98 Euro/dollar: UP at $1.1429 from $1.1349 on Friday Pound/dollar: UP at $1.3549 from $1.3463 Dollar/yen: DOWN at 142.91 yen from 143.97 yen Euro/pound: UP at 84.35 pence from 84.30 pence West Texas Intermediate: UP 2.7 percent at $62.42 per barrel Brent North Sea Crude: UP 2.3 percent at $64.23 per barrel New York - Dow: UP 0.1 percent at 42,270.07 (close) Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:
