BEIJING (Reuters) - China's determination to resist U.S. bullying in two years of negotiations to end the Korean War is a reason not to bow to Washington in bitter trade talks, a top Chinese newspaper suggested on Wednesday. State media has increasingly alluded to or directly referenced the 1950-53 Korean War - when China and North Korea battled United Nations forces led by the United States - to rally public opinion behind the government during China's ongoing trade conflict with the United States. China and North Korea went into the talks with the United States over the Korean War with sincerity and suggestions both sides could basically accept, the paper said, echoing wording China has used to describe its approach to the trade discussions. Finally in 1953 the armistice was signed, largely based upon China and North Korea's original proposals put forward in 1951, the paper said. China has said its door is open to more trade talks with the United States on trade, but there have been no high-level, face-to-face meetings since last month.
