Beijing: China on Monday said it was optimistic about the latest round of trade negotiations with the US that started here as both sides showed willingness to end their disputes.
A US delegation led by Deputy Trade Representative Jeffrey Gerrish arrived in the Chinese capital to start the two-day vice-ministerial level talks over a trade dispute since the beginning of 2018.
“Talks are underway. The two sides have expressed their willingness to hold constructive talks and to work together to resolve the disputes following the consensus reached between the leaders of the two countries,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lu Kang said in a press briefing.
Chinese President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart Donald Trump had agreed on a 90-day truce to hold negotiations when they met in Argentinian capital Buenos Aires on December 1 on the sidelines of the G20 summit.
