Comments from Cui Tiankai, China's ambassador to the US
China wants a balanced approach in trade talks but can't bend to the US will, according Cui Tiankai, China's ambassador to the US.
"The key to this solution is a balanced approach to concerns of both sides," he said. "We cannot accept that one side would put forward a number of demands and the other side just has to satisfy all these things."
The line is a rebuff to the White House, which has staked out an aggressive stance.
