It also comes amid Chinese state media reports that Beijing will not respond to Trump’s threats with concessions.
In a commentary published on its WeChat account on Tuesday, People’s Daily warned the U.S. to “not even think about” concessions.
“When things are unfavourable to us, no matter how you ask, we will not take any step back. Do not even think about it,” the commentary said.
Sources said President Xi Jinping earlier vetoed extra concessions proposed by his negotiators. “Xi told them ‘I’ll be responsible for all possible consequences’,” one of the sources said.
Chinese negotiators subsequently presented a tougher proposal to Washington, although it is not clear if they pitched an amended proposal to Xi after the latest round of talks in Beijing last week.
Shanghai-based political analyst Chen Daoyin said that from China’s perspective, the nation that had the will and power to stay firm until the last moment would remain standing.
“President Xi and his administration have a very firm stand, showing no signs of backing off in the face of challenges,” Chen said. “Xi’s Chinese dream to make a stronger nation has also limited his team’s ability and flexibility to handle external issues.”
