China to send top trade negotiator Liu He to US as Washington accuses Beijing of 'reneging on prior commitments' made in earlier trade talks
Chinese Vice Premier Liu He gestures as US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin chats with Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer before they proceed to their meeting at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing on May 1, 2019.
Tuesday's announcement indicated Beijing decided to go ahead with high-level negotiations despite fears it might cancel or downgrade the talks to show frustration with Trump's surprise threat. Both officials offered no details of China's alleged backsliding, and there was no immediate response from Beijing.
The reiteration on Monday of the president's threat from high-level Trump officials reinforced the administration's determination to throw Beijing on the defensive.
