Crying wolf won't help US win trade war

That issuing threats to China will get it nowhere is something the United States refuses to understand. True, the US president might be unhappy that the trade talks with China have been going on for more than a year and yet there are no signs of a deal in sight.

To vent his frustration, the US leader used Twitter on Tuesday to warn China against "dragging its feet" in the trade talks.

Another simple fact the US administration refuses to comprehend is that China has been making untiring efforts to resolve the trade dispute through talks based on equality and mutual respect.
