The Trump administration on Monday rebuked China for making statements in recent weeks that it said misrepresented why trade talks between the two nations reached an impasse.
Chinese officials, in public remarks and in a policy paper issued over the weekend, have chosen “to pursue a blame game misrepresenting the nature and history of trade negotiations between the two countries,” said the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative and the Treasury ...

Good question.
That is exactly how much, I could actually read.

Mr. Murdoch, if you happen to read this, know you are cramping our style just a tiny bit here.
The Chinese can be as bad as Muslims when it comes to dealings with people not like them. Most people do not realize this, so they take everything the Chinese say at face value.
Propaganda interference in sovereign US relations with its citizens of a type China would never tolerate with its own citizens.
Nyuk, nyuk.
Copy the title of the article and search it.
Usually the 1st link is full article.
In the few times it doesn’t seem to work, open a private window and do the same.
It’s easy if you just know to do it ;)
The Trump administration on Monday rebuked China for making statements in recent weeks that it said misrepresented why trade talks between the two nations reached an impasse.
Chinese officials, in public remarks and in a policy paper issued over the weekend, have chosen “to pursue a blame game misrepresenting the nature and history of trade negotiations between the two countries,” said the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative and the Treasury Department in a joint statement. U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin have led Washington’s negotiations with Beijing.
On Sunday, China released a government policy paper that said Washington had scuttled the negotiations, which reached an impasse in May, and said that China wouldn’t shy away from a trade conflict.
The U.S. response to China’s policy statement suggests the two sides remain far apart after talks broke down amid accusations from both sides. And yet, the U.S. statement included no mention of new demands, instead reiterating existing calls for China to address what it says are unfair trade practices such as forced technology transfer or intellectual property theft.
The U.S. statement, coming just weeks before a meeting of the heads of the Group of 20 major economies in Tokyo at the end of June, said Washington’s “negotiating positions have been consistent throughout these talks, and China back-pedaled on important elements of what the parties had agreed to.”
Chinese officials over the weekend stressed that, despite blaming the U.S. for the breakdown, they were willing to return to negotiations. Both sides have indicated that President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping may meet on the sidelines of a G-20 summit.
Since talks began in November, the U.S. and Beijing have made statements that they wouldn’t negotiate in public. But China, over the weekend, said publicly that U.S. demands were infringing on Chinese sovereignty.
The U.S. said in its statement that one of its key positions “was the need for enforceability, a position necessitated by China’s history of making commitments that it fails to keep.”
“But our insistence on detailed and enforceable commitments from the Chinese in no way constitutes a threat to Chinese sovereignty,” the U.S. statement said.
Very good:
“The U.S. said in its statement that one of its key positions “was the need for enforceability, a position necessitated by China’s history of making commitments that it fails to keep.””
Stand firm. For real.
Thanks

Some have told me it doesn’t. May have to do with which browser or clearing cache/cookies or some other thing i don’t know much about.
But it works for me ;)
