Chinese Officials Outline Path to Resolving US Trade War

China has outlined several conditions for restarting trade talks with the Trump administration, including more respectful rhetoric from US officials, consistency in the US position, and addressing China’s concerns about sanctions and Taiwan.

Beijing also wants a designated point person with Trump’s support who can help prepare a deal for Trump and Xi Jinping to sign.

The ongoing trade dispute, with 145% US tariffs on most Chinese goods since Trump took office, threatens global economic stability and has led to broad Chinese public support for retaliation against the US.
