The company has been importing U.S. equipment since the 1960s, according to Reuters.
– While it is rumoured that U.S. President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping will continue trade talks at the G20 summit in Japan later in June, China would not confirm if such a meeting will take place. “We note that for some time, the U.S. has made multiple public statements that it looks forward to a meeting between the two heads of state during the G-20 Osaka Summit,” said Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang, according to the Canadian Press. “We will release information on this when we have it.”
