China suspends purchase of US agricultural goods

China urged the United States on Tuesday to honor its commitments and create necessary conditions for bilateral agricultural cooperation.

The remark came after Beijing announced on Tuesday that Chinese companies have suspended buying US foodstuffs due to Washington's "serious violation of the consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries during their meeting in Osaka".

"We hope the US will earnestly act on the consensus," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said in a statement released on the ministry's website on Tuesday.
