China’s top trade official, He Lifeng, will meet with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in Switzerland this week. This decision comes at a time when economic data has shown that ongoing trade brinkmanship has had a negative impact on both countries’ economies.
The negotiating teams are expected to discuss reductions to tariffs, export controls and the decision to end exceptions on low-value imports.
The George Washington University has experts available who can discuss these trade talks. If you would like to schedule an interview, please contact claire [dot] sabin
