BEIJING — China held the door open to resuming talks in the tariff war with Washington on Thursday, but lashed out at limits on access to key technologies that it said might hurt global supply chains. ADVERTISEMENT“China is open to the door of dialogue, but sincerity is indispensable to make a consultation meaningful,” Lu said at regularly scheduled briefing. The dispute has roiled global financial markets, which have dipped as tensions worsened and jumped at any hint of a breakthrough. Based on last year’s trade, that leaves about $45 billion in imports from the US. So far, Beijing has sought to win sympathy and support by burnishing its credentials as a rules-abiding member of the World Trade Organization.
