Trade talk: China’s President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump are set to meet to discuss trade issues. – AFP

THE Chinese consul general in Penang gave a one-sided and simplistic overview of the current United States-China trade dispute in the letter “Trade relations depend on respect” (The Star, June 21).

He looked at tariffs and blamed the US for enacting them. The US and China are the world’s largest trading entities and rarely can such a huge issue be boiled down to just one factor.
