Talks to End U.S.-China Trade War Now Shift to Make-or-Break Rounds
BEIJING — Three days of trade negotiations between midlevel American and Chinese
officials ended in Beijing on Wednesday afternoon with progress in identifying
and narrowing the two sides’ differences but little sense of when they might
reach a deal.
The trade talks could help clear the way for higher-level talks this month when
President Trump attends the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Vice
Premier Liu He, China’s economic czar, is expected to go to Washington sometime
after that.
In a statement after the talks ended, the United States trade representative’s
office said the two sides had discussed China’s pledge to buy a “substantial”
amount of American agricultural, energy and manufacturing products.
Negotiators also focused on White House concerns about China’s approach to
intellectual property protection and its practice of so-called forced technology
transfer, the statement said.
The Trump administration wants to ensure that China keeps its commitments in any
deal that is reached. To that end, the statement said, officials discussed “the
need for any agreement to provide for complete implementation subject to ongoing
verification and effective enforcement.”
China’s Commerce Ministry said in a statement on Thursday morning on its
official mini-blogging account that the two sides had “conducted extensive,
in-depth and meticulous exchanges on trade issues and structural issues of
common concern, which enhanced mutual understanding and laid the foundation for
resolving mutual concerns.
“Both parties agreed to continue to maintain close contact,” the statement
continued, without specifying when or where the next meeting might be held.
The United States delegation plans to report back to the White House to
determine what happens next. The administration has set a March 2 deadline for
raising tariffs on roughly two-fifths of annual American imports from China if
no deal is reached.
“I’m optimistic that they’re making progress — the tone of the talks is
important, and this tone has been good,” said Dean Pinkert, a former
commissioner of the United States International Trade Commission who is now a
trade law partner at Hughes Hubbard & Reed, a big international law firm. “It is
still important to the U.S. government to get credible commitments.”
At issue is the extent to which China is willing to offer binding commitments to
change trade practices that have long irked President Trump and his
administration.
The scheduled two-day talks extended into a third day as American officials
pressed China for more details on how it will live up to its commitments, said
people with knowledge of the negotiations, who insisted on anonymity to avoid
disrupting the talks.
China has made a series of offers to the Trump administration in recent weeks to
end the trade war. But many of the administration’s trade hawks regard them as
nebulous, especially when it comes to Chinese trade practices that
administration officials consider unfair.
