BEIJING (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 25th September, 2018) The US-Chinese trade war will have a negative impact on the United States, which is exporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) to China, Chinese Vice Minister of Commerce Wang Shouwen said on Tuesday.
"The United States is an important LNG exporter to China but because of the restrictive trade measures taken by the US party China had to adopt the similar measures. And that can really have an impact on the United States as a key LNG exporter to China," Wang said at a press briefing.
He pointed out that Australia had also become an important LNG exporter to China.
"China is a very big market that is opening to the rest of the world.
If there was no trade war [with the United States], China would provide all the LNG exporters with equal rights on our market," Wang added.
The US-Chinese relations have been tense since March, when US President Donald Trump announced imposing tariffs on imported Chinese steel and aluminum. Since then, the two sides have imposed several rounds of exchange duties on each other. On Saturday, Beijing decided to withdraw from trade talks with Washington, following recent sanctions that the United States imposed against the Chinese Defense Ministry and the Russian state arms exporter Rosoboronexport in connection to the deals on the purchase of the Russian aircraft and S-400 missile systems.
