China calls Trump’s trade deal accusations ‘groundless’

China has dismissed Trump’s claims of trade deal violations as baseless. According to The Washington Post, China responded to Trump’s accusations by stating that the US is undermining the consensus reached in Geneva. Analysts believe that the US’s attempts to pressure China into making trade concessions will not be successful, as reported by the South China Morning Post. Additionally, The Guardian reported that China accused the US of significantly breaching the trade truce. Bloomberg highlighted that China’s control over rare earths gives President Xi leverage in the trade conflict with the US.
