US trade threats, intimidation won't ever work: China
Beijing, July 23 : China on Monday rebuffed renewed threats on trade from Washington, after US President Donald Trump threatened to impose further tariffs on all imported Chinese goods.
Trump said last week that he was ready to slap additional tariffs on goods imported from China amounting to $500 billion. "The US is invoking this trade war", Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang said.
"China does not want a trade war, but we are not afraid", he continued, adding that "threats and intimidation will never work", Efe news reported.
China and the US have been involved in an escalating trade dispute since Washington imposed 25 per cent and 10 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminium in March, which have been extended to include an array of other Chinese goods.
China has responded in kind by taxing US imports and has submitted complaints to the World Trade Organization on two separate occasions.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
