Ministers meet the media (II): Highlights

China and US must meet halfway: Zhong Shan

China and the United States are still in talks regarding ongoing trade issues, which require the two countries to meet halfway, Zhong Shan, China's minister of commerce, said on Tuesday.

The 90-day talks between the two countries have reached a breakthrough, said Zhong.

"The two parties agreed to extend the negotiation, and during the extension, both sides will not implement the planned tariff hike. We should cherish the hard earned achievement," he added.
