Beijing: China has rejected US allegations that it violated the consensus reached during recent economic and trade talks held between the two countries in Geneva in mid-May, calling on Washington to stop spreading what it described as "false information."

According to Qatar News Agency, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian stated at a press conference that China acted responsibly, taking the consensus reached in Geneva talks seriously, and implemented it strictly. He expressed Beijing's firm rejection of the claims that China had breached the recent economic and trade agreement.

He emphasized that this US move harmed China's legitimate rights and interests, stressing China's strong opposition to such accusations and noting that Beijing has lodged strong protests in this regard.

Lin added that applying pressure is not the right approach to dealing with China. He called on the United States to cease disseminating such information, correct its mistakes, and take concrete steps to safeguard the consensus reached in the Geneva discussions.

In mid-May, China and the United States agreed in Geneva to suspend tariffs for a period of 90 days. China also pledged to lift countermeasures that had restricted its exports of critical minerals used in the US semiconductor, electronics, and defense industries.
