US using false accusations on trade to 'intimidate' countries: China

BEIJING - AFP

China accused the United States on Monday of using false accusations on trade to "intimidate" other countries, as the tariff battle between the global giants intensifies.

The US has "made a series of false accusations, and used increasing tariffs and other means of economic intimidation, to try to impose its own interests on China by way of extreme pressure", the State Council (cabinet) said in a white paper on trade and economic tensions with Washington.
