China Says It Has No Information on US Claim of Trade Truce Extension to Jan 10

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the United States and China have agreed to extend their trade truce to January 10, but Beijing has not confirmed the arrangement. Asked at a regular briefing whether China agreed to the extension, foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said questions on China-US trade talks should be directed to the competent Chinese authorities.

The asymmetry is the story: Washington is publicly framing a truce extension as settled, while Beijing is neither confirming nor denying it, routing questions to trade authorities rather than the foreign ministry. That gap matters because a truce that one side announces and the other won't acknowledge is politically fragile — it can hold operationally while remaining unratified in public. What's worth watching is whether China's commerce or trade apparatus eventually echoes the January 10 timeline, or whether the silence itself becomes the signal.
