BEIJING, June 4 (Xinhua) -- A spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce (MOC) remarked Tuesday on the statement made by the Office of the United States Trade Representative and the U.S. Department of the Treasury on China's newly-issued white paper demonstrating its stance on economic and trade talks with the United States, according to the MOC official website.
Neglecting multilateral trade rules, the United States has taken unilateralist and protectionist actions frequently in the name of trade deficit to trigger the China-U.S. economic and trade frictions, said the spokesperson, adding that in the meantime, the United States tried to coerce China into accepting its demands in the economic and trade consultations.
"This was typical trade bullyism," said the spokesperson.
