They kind of are. Trump has a phone call with China, and pretends it’s “negotiations” even though there’s nothing formal about it. China is saying that talks aren’t happening, even though back channel communication is active right now.

I tend to agree with China’s viewpoint a little more right now, but they are both intentionally trying to paint a different picture here.
