BEIJING - Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian on Tuesday rejected the repeated US claims that China is violating the consensus reached during the China-US economic and trade talks in Geneva, urging the United States to stop spreading disinformation.

China has acted in a responsible manner, taking the consensus reached in the Geneva talks seriously and implementing it rigorously, Lin stated at a regular press briefing.

The United States has seriously undermined the consensus by successively introducing multiple discriminatory, restrictive measures against China, including issuing guidance on AI chip export controls, halting sales of chip design software to China, and announcing the revocation of visas for Chinese students, Lin said.
