WASHINGTON—U. S. negotiators are preparing to press China next week on longstanding demands that it reform how it treats American companies’ intellectual property in order to seal a trade deal that could prevent tariffs from rising on Chinese imports.
A new round of trade talks begins in Beijing on Feb. 11, following up on the most recent set of negotiations concluded in Washington last week without a deal and with the top U. S. negotiator declaring a lot more work needed to be done.
A White House official said on Friday preparations were underway and the focus of talks would continue to be pressing Beijing to make structural reforms.
The White House announced a timeframe for the Beijing talks in a statement. It said lower level officials will kick off the meetings on Monday, led on the American side by Deputy U.
