Chinese ambassador to US says Beijing doesn’t know who to deal with

(CNN)The Chinese ambassador to the United States said diplomats are confused over who is the “final decision maker” in the Trump administration, complicating future negotiations amid the escalating US China trade war.

When asked by Fox News host Chris Wallace who Ambassador Cui Tiankai believed in the Trump administration was running trade policy with China, the ambassador replied, “You tell me.”
“(Diplomats) don’t know who is the final decision maker. Of course, presumably the president would take the final decision, but who is playing what role? Sometimes it could be very confusing,” Cui said in the interview.
