China-US trade talks to resume in Shanghai

City has 'good conditions' for hosting negotiations, ministry spokesman says

Top negotiators from China and the United States will meet in Shanghai on Tuesday and Wednesday for the first time since President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart Donald Trump agreed in June to resume economic and trade consultations.

Analysts said that holding the 12th round of talks in Shanghai, the country's financial hub, will help the US have a more direct understanding of China - a nation that is determined to further open up. Previously, the trade talks in China took place in Beijing.
