BEIJING, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) -- China's Ministry of Commerce on Tuesday urged the U.S. side to correct its wrongdoings as soon as possible, show sincerity for trade talks, and work with China in the same direction.

A spokesperson for the ministry made the remarks when commenting on the U.S. claim that China had postponed a suggested phone call to discuss its recent rare earth export controls and that the two sides should find a way to restore a stable situation. ■
