Well-known anchors agree on need for breakthrough

A much-anticipated discussion between US and Chinese anchorwomen on Wednesday evening had the host and her guest addressing everything from tariffs to China's developing nation status.

Trish Regan, host of Trish Regan Primetime on the Fox Business Network, and Liu Xin, who anchors The Point on China Global Television Network, or CGTN, agreed that something must be done to break the impasse between China and the United States as the world's two biggest economies remain embroiled in a protracted trade dispute.

The two journalists met "face-to-face" for the first time after exchanging Twitter messages over the past week in which they agreed to have an "honest debate" and "meaningful discussion" on trade issues that are perplexing their countries.
