China 'cannot guarantee' no more trade tension with US

China's government has said it cannot guarantee that renewed trade tension with Washington can be avoided after US treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin declared a temporary truce in a spiralling dispute that prompted worries of a chilling of global commerce.
Mr Mnuchin said the two sides were "putting the trade war on hold" following an announcement Beijing would "significantly increase" purchases of American farm goods, energy and other products and services.
