CHINA will seek a shared future with its neighbours, the country’s government said today as the tariff war launched by the United States narrowed its focus to Beijing.

On Wednesday President Donald Trump suspended the tariffs, bar a 10 per cent base level, that he had slapped on every nation except China. 

As stock markets across the globe collapsed, Mr Trump said he was putting the plan on hold for 90 days, claiming that countries were lining up to negotiate more favourable conditions.
