Hopes high with Sino-US talks ready to resume

China hopes to work with the United States to promote consultation to achieve a mutually beneficial result in the seventh round of high-level economic and trade talks in Washington this week, Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang announced on Wednesday.

Experts said it is anticipated that the talks, on Thursday and Friday, will serve the interests of companies in both countries and meet the common aspirations of the international community.

The upcoming round of talks is the latest attempt to ease trade tensions ahead of a March 1 tariff truce deadline.
