Qian’s remark came on Monday after US President Donald Trump said China has done nothing to deal with the North Korean issue. At a press briefing in Beijing, Qian said North Korea’s nuclear tests and trade relations between China and the US are two separate issues and should not be discussed together. He reaffirmed that China has no responsibility for settling Pyongyang’s nuclear issue and that Washington and Pyongyang need to take measures to ease the tensions.
