Asian markets ended mixed on Friday, even as trade worries persisted and a slump in oil prices pulled down energy stocks. US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that Washington's complaints against Huawei Technologies might be resolved within the framework of a US-China trade deal. At the same time, he called the Chinese telecommunications giant ‘very dangerous’. During a weekly briefing, Chinese Commerce Ministry spokesman Gao Feng said the Trump administration must ‘show sincerity and correct their wrong actions’ if the US wants trade talks to continue. ‘Negotiations can only continue on the basis of equality and mutual respect’, Gao said, noting that China is closely monitoring developments and preparing a necessary response. Japanese shares ended slightly lower, with a sharp fall in oil prices and fears of a technology cold war between the US and China weighing on investors' risk appetite.
