China has intensified its criticism of the United States just days before Donald Trump’s high-stakes visit to Beijing.

Beijing accused Washington of violating international law and escalating global tensions. The sharp exchange highlights growing friction between the world’s two biggest powers ahead of crucial talks that could impact trade, security, Taiwan relations, and the future of global diplomacy.
