China hits back after Trump claims it is 'violating' tariff truce

 
US President Donald Trump has accused China of violating a two-week-old truce on tariffs, a claim China has responded to with its own accusations of US wrongdoing.
 
Washington and Beijing agreed to temporarily lower tit-for-tat tariffs after talks in Geneva earlier this month. 
 
But Trump said on Friday that China had totally violated its agreement with the US. He did not give details, but US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer  later said China had not been removing non-tariff barriers as agreed under the deal.
 
Beijing's response did not address the US claims directly, but urged the US to "cease discriminatory restrictions against China".
