The Washington Post reports: "The United States is "holding a knife to our neck" to force trade concessions, a top Chinese official said Tuesday, a day after the two sides imposed another round of punishing tariffs. With both Beijing and Washington holding their ground, the dispute between the world's two largest economies looks set to rumble on with no obvious end in sight. "Our door is open for the resumption of trade consultations and negotiations, but to make the negotiations effective, they should be based on mutual respect and treating each other as equals," Vice Commerce Minister Wang Shouwen told reporters."
- CNBC reports: "China has reacted with anger to the news that the United States is ready to approve a $330 million arms sale to neigboring Taiwan. The contract was confirmed in a Pentagon news release on Monday that detailed an inventory of spare parts and repairs to be bought from the U.S. for Taiwanese military aircraft. At a daily press conference on Tuesday, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Geng Shuang, expressed anger over the deal and said China had already made its feelings clear to U.S. representatives."
- The Wall Street Journal reports: "The Chinese government denied a U.S. Navy ship permission for a port visit to Hong Kong next month, U.S. military officials said Monday, a decision issued as Beijing also canceled a high-level naval meeting in the U.S. The rebuffs come as tensions burgeon between the two countries over a range of military and economic differences."
