China’s top trade official tells US counterparts that Beijing has “serious concern” over Washington’s latest trade restrictions, according to state media reports. The message is communicated in a meeting with US counterparts on Thursday, where China conveys that the new measures affect its interests. Channel NewsAsia and Nigeria’s Vanguard report the same core claim, with both citing Chinese state media for the wording and context. The reports do not provide detailed specifications of the restrictions or outline immediate changes in policy by either side. They present the communication as part of ongoing trade-related tensions between the two countries, with China expressing disapproval of the latest US steps and the United States yet to respond publicly in the cited accounts. The information is reported as a statement of concern rather than an announcement of retaliation, and the accounts focus on diplomatic messaging around the trade measures.
