Flexibility needed on US trade issues
China needs to be prepared with flexible plans to respond to the inconsistent trade and economic policies of the administration of US President Donald Trump, as both sides still face a host of unresolved issues related to bilateral trade, experts said on Thursday.
Although both sides made progress in some areas at the third round of high-level official talks that concluded in Beijing on Sunday, the US government may still release a list on June 15 imposing a 25 percent tariff on $50 billion worth of Chinese goods containing "industrial significant technology", according to a White House statement issued late last month.
China's Ministry of Commerce stressed on Thursday that the nation is willing to expand imports from the US if they can meet "halfway" in trade negotiations.
