Chinese Vice Minister of Commerce Qian Keming has said that the DPRK issue is irrelevant to trade between China and the US, and the US should not link the two matters together.
Qian also said trade between China and the US as well as investments between the two countries are of mutual benefit.
The statement comes after President Donald Trump took another swing at Beijing, in his latest tirade on Twitter. His comments came a day after Pyongyang test-fired its second intercontinental ballistic missile within a month.
Trump earlier accused China of taking no action on the DPRK's nuclear program, despite profiting from business with America.
