Beijing says it’s in “no rush” to get talks going again between the U.S. and China.
That’s from the South China Morning Post.
The Chinese newspaper says the country is prepared to not meet with President Trump if he’s “not prepared to be realistic.”
In the article the Chinese government appeared to invite a U.S. delegation to make a trip to Beijing for more discussions.
However, there’s no schedule set in stone yet and CNBC says negotiations are “in flux.”
The South China Morning Post says Chinese state media outlets have gone on the offensive.
An international relations expert at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences tells the paper:
“There’s no need to get into frantic calculations about when he (Trump) will come if the U.S. continues to lack sincerity.”
“After all, enough has been said by both sides in many different rounds of talks.”
A Peking University international relations professor says:
“The standoff should last for a while because the U.S. has refused to make even the slightest compromise, to a point that’s somewhat unreasonable.”
