Neither US nor Chinese officials provided details about the latest round of talks aimed at ending a trade war between the two world powers. Vice Premier Liu will lead a Chinese delegation to Washington next Wednesday for another round of talks.
China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang told a press conference earlier this week that substantive progress has been achieved. He said he hopes the two teams, guided by the two presidents' consensus, will work together for a mutually-beneficial and win-win agreement on the basis of mutual respect.
