TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) \u2014 China criticized the U.S. on Monday over moves it alleged harmed Chinese interests, including issuing AI chip export control guidelines, stopping the sale of chip design software to China, and planning to revoke Chinese student visas. <\/p>\n
\u201cThese practices seriously violate the consensus,\u201d the Commerce Ministry said in a statement, referring to a China-U.S. joint statement in which the United States and China<\/a> agreed to slash their massive recent tariffs<\/a>, restarting stalled trade between the world\u2019s two biggest economies.<\/p>\n But last month\u2019s de-escalation in President Donald Trump\u2019s trade wars<\/a> did nothing to resolve underlying differences between Beijing and Washington and Monday\u2019s statement showed how easily such agreements can lead to further turbulence. <\/p>\n The deal lasts 90 days, creating time for U.S. and Chinese negotiators to reach a more substantive agreement. But the pause also leaves tariffs higher than before Trump started ramping them up<\/a> last month. And businesses and investors must contend with uncertainty about whether the truce will last.<\/p>\n U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer<\/a> said the U.S. agreed to drop the 145% tax Trump imposed last month to 30%. China agreed to lower its tariff rate on U.S. goods to 10% from 125%.<\/p>\n The Commerce Ministry said China held up its end of the deal, canceling or suspending tariffs and non-tariff measures taken against the U.S. \u201creciprocal tariffs\u201d following the agreement. <\/p>\n \u201cThe United States has unilaterally provoked new economic and trade frictions, exacerbating the uncertainty and instability of bilateral economic and trade relations,\u201d while China has stood by its commitments, the statement said. <\/p>\n It also threatened unspecified retaliation, saying China will \u201ccontinue to take resolute and forceful measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.\u201d<\/p>\n Trump stirred further controversy Friday, saying he will no longer be nice with China on trade<\/a>, declaring in a social media post that the country had broken an agreement with the United States.<\/p>\n
