Responds to US saying it has proposed to talk with China after rare earths restrictionsUS cannot have talks while threatening to intimidate and introduce new restrictions, which is not right way to get along with ChinaUrges US side to correct its ‘wrong practices’ as soon as possible, show sincerity in talks with ChinaTwo sides have maintained communication under the framework of the China-US economic and trade consultation mechanismOn Monday, also held working-level talks with the US
