According to National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow, channels of communication with Beijing remain open but there are currently no plans for more shuttle diplomacy between Washington and Beijing.
The United States, Japan, and the European Union last month announced they are jointly considering “possible measures” against unfair industrial practices widely attributed to Beijing, such as overproduction, cyber-theft and forced technology transfers.
