China on Tuesday urged the United States to show "respect" if it wanted the two countries to meet for talks after President Donald Trump unleashed a trade war with sweeping tariffs.

"If the US really wants to talk, it should adopt an attitude of equality, respect and mutual benefit," foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian said, adding: "If the US ignores the interests of both countries and the international community and insists on a tariff war and a trade war, China will definitely fight to the end.
