China will not buy American agriculture products if the United States “flip-flops” again in future trade negotiations, Chinese state media said on Friday.
A commentary by Taoran Notes, a social media account affiliated with Economic Daily, said recent remarks by US officials signalled that America was not treating China on an equal basis.
It referred to remarks by White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow, who said the US would not remove tariffs already imposed on Chinese imports during negotiations.
On Saturday, US President Donald Trump said, following a meeting with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, that China had agreed to buy more US products.
