Washington "has presented false accusations and unfairly accused China of breaking the consensus agreement", according to Chinese authorities.
Beijing and Washington announced on May 12 that they had agreed on reduced tariffs for 90 days - the US's against China from 30 percent and China's against US goods from 125 to 10 percent.
The purpose was, according to a joint statement after negotiations in Geneva, to create time to settle the trade conflict.
However, on Sunday, the US Trade Minister Howard Lutnick said in Fox News that China was delaying the agreement.
Beijing responds by saying that Washington "has presented false accusations and unfairly accused China of breaking the consensus, which seriously contradicts the facts". They mean that the US "has successively introduced a number of discriminatory restrictive measures against China", and refers to export controls of AI chips and the revocation of Chinese student visas.
"We urge the US to meet China halfway, immediately correct its wrong actions and jointly uphold the consensus from the trade talks", it says in a statement from Chinese authorities.
Last week, US President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that China "has completely broken the agreement with us", without specifying how the agreement had been broken.
