EXCLUSIVE: China shifts position on tech transfers, trade talks progress - U.S. officials reports jeffmason1
Reuters reported previously that the two sides were working on written agreements in six areas: forced technology transfer and cyber theft, intellectual property rights, services, currency, agriculture and non-tariff barriers to trade.
The in-person talks, which will be followed by a round in Washington next week, are the first face-to-face meetings the two sides have held in weeks after missing an initial end-of-March goal for a summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping to sign a pact.“It could go to May, June, no one knows. It could happen in April, we don’t know,” another administration official said.
Trump said last week the United States may leave tariffs on Chinese goods for a “substantial period” to ensure compliance. China has hit back with tariffs on about $110 billion worth of U.S. goods, including soybeans and other commodities.
