China Sends Top Trade Official to Washington Amid Tariff Truce
Li Chenggang will discuss soybean purchases, technology export restrictions, and tariff negotiations amid a recent 90-day tariff truce between China and the US, officials said.
- Senior Chinese trade negotiator Li Chenggang is expected to travel to Washington this week to meet U.S. officials, but the visit is not part of a formal negotiating session.
- The world's two largest economies agreed on August 11 to extend their tariff truce for another 90 days, locking in a 30% tariff on Chinese imports and 10% Chinese duties on U.S. goods.
- The last time a top Chinese trade official visited the U.S. for bilateral talks was in January 2020 when vice-Premier Liu He signed the 'Phase 1' trade deal with the Trump administration.
