Trump in the election campaign threatened China and other US trading partners with huge tariffs.
WASHINGTON – Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke by phone on Friday, days before the incoming US president returns to the White House, with both leaders vowing to take a positive approach to improving ties between the rival countries.
The threat of a 10 percent tariff on Chinese products, in addition to existing tariffs dating back to Trump's first term, is driven by accusations that China allows fentanyl's chemical components to flow into Mexico and onto America where the drug causes 70,000 overdose deaths a year. The law resulted from widespread belief in Washington that the highly popular app could be used by China for spying or propaganda.Trump's impending return to the Oval Office has stirred fears that tensions between the world's two largest economies could worsen rapidly on several fronts.
Xi said on the call that "the Taiwan question concerns China's national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and it is hoped that the US side handles it with caution," the state-run Xinhua news agency said.
