CHINA on Thursday said it is in 'working-level communication' with the US on the deadlock over their high-intensity tariff war but asserted that the person who 'tied the bell' should untie it.

The Chinese Commerce Ministry spokesperson He Yongqian was reacting to a jibe from US President Donald Trump, who was quoted as saying, "The ball is in China's court, and China needs to make a deal with us."

In response, the Chinese spokesperson quoted a proverb, saying, "The person who tied the bell must be the one who unties it."

Analysts here said talks between the two countries will be held at official levels before any dialogue between top leaders.
