China says that the United States raped the truce as the trade war is heated

China said Monday that the Trump administration is undermining the temporary May 12 Commercial Agreement Between the two nations issuing export guidelines for artificial intelligence chips, stopping the sale of chips design software to China and planning Revoke visas from Chinese students.

The actions of the Trump administration “seriously undermine the existing consensus achieved in the economic and commercial conversations of Geneva, and seriously damage China’s legitimate rights and interests,” said the Ministry of Commerce of China in the June 2 statement.

China’s statements occur after President Trump on Friday said Beijing is violating a commercial agreement with the United States, only weeks after the two countries announced on May 12 to temporary but significant flexibility of rates imposed on imports from the other earlier. The climbing of rhetoric increases concerns that the two largest global economies can find more blockages as they pursue trade negotiations, experts say.

“The new hostilities between the United States and China show that the many questions that are hung after the high Geneva fire in mid -May still do not have satisfactory answers,” said Arthur Kroeber, China’s analyst at Dement Research, in a report. “It is not clear if US trade policy is being directed by President Donald Trump, his commercial negotiators or his national security team.”

He added: “The general objectives of commercial aggression, apart from the exhibition of gross power, are as confused as ever.”

Meanwhile, Treasury secretary, Scott Besent, said Sunday that he is “insurance for” a commercial dispute between the United States and China “will be solved” when Mr. Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping have a conversation. “I think we will see something very soon” Besent said “face the nation with Margaret Brennan“

Wall Street was more under Monday in the midst of renewed concerns of a commercial preparation war between nations. The S&P 500 fell 10 points, or 0.2%, to 5,901, while the Dow Jones industrial average fell 0.4%and the Nasdaq compound with technological weights showed 0.1%.

May 12 Rate Pause

May 12 treatment It lasts 90 dayscreating time for US and Chinese negotiators to reach a more substantive agreement. But the pause still leaves taller tariffs than before Trump began increasing them last month. Companies and investors must also deal with uncertainty about whether the truce will last.

The United States commercial representative Jamieson Greer said that the United States agreed to leave the 145% tax that Mr. Trump had imposed to China to 30%. China agreed to reduce its rate of US goods to 10% from 125%.

On Monday, the Ministry of Commerce said that China maintained the end of the agreement, canceling or suspending tariffs and non -fair measures taken against the “reciprocal tariffs” of the United States after the agreement. But he claimed that the Trump administration has “caused new economic and commercial frictions and exacerbated uncertainty and instability” in commercial relations between the two nations, citing curbs in the exports of AI chips and chips design software to China.

The statement also highlighted the threat of the Trump administration to eliminate the visas of Chinese students studying in American universities such as undermining the commercial agreement between nations.

The Trump administration intensified the clash with China last week, announcing that it would begin to revoke visas for Chinese students on American campus that house more than 275,000 students from China.

Agitation between the United States and China increases economic risks, given the links between the two nations and their importance in global trade, experts added.

“If the United States and China completely disconnect in another increasing tariff bombing, it would really be a big problem for the global economy,” said Carl Weinberg, head economist of high frequency economy, investors in a client’s note. “The demand for industrial products would fall. Supply chains that cover multiple borders would go out.”
