Trump has taken issues with China's World Trade Organization status as a 'developing nation,' as it allows Beijing preferential rules on tariffs.
China has rejected President Donald Trump's latest attack on its trade practices, suggesting the U.S. should be receptive to the concerns of developing countries and meet Beijing halfway on a new trade deal.
"The United States has never accepted China's claim to developing-country status, and virtually every current economic indicator belies China's claim," the memo read, noting that China's gross domestic product is second only to the U.S.
"The United States should see China's development with an open, inclusive and win-win attitude and meet China halfway to control differences on the basis of mutual respect," Geng added.
