Bloomberg writes about it.
It is noted that US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant stated at a press conference that Li Chenghan’s visit to Washington in August was not coordinated with the administration of US President Donald Trump. According to him, the meeting went terribly.
“Perhaps the deputy minister who came here with a very inflammatory speech on August 28 has gone mad. That person was very disrespectful,” Bessant said.
The agency added that tensions between the U.S. and China have risen in recent weeks after Washington expanded some technological restrictions on Beijing and proposed tariffs on Chinese ships calling at U.S. ports. China responded with similar measures and announced the strengthening of export controls over minerals and other important resources.
China’s Ministry of Commerce said Bessant “seriously distorted the facts,” the agency said. Beijing assured that Li Chengang was in the United States to continue the previously started talks between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
