China to continue soybean purchases from US
Beijing is determined to continue purchases of soybean from the United States that were agreed under phase one trade deal with Washington, Chinese Agriculture Ministry said on Thursday, denying reports on pausing US farm goods imports. China's state-controlled companies bought more than 180,000 tons of soybean from the US since the deal was sealed, the ministry added. On Tuesday, Chinese Foreign Ministry claimed it received no information on the alleged halting of soybean imports from the United States.
