Senior level trade officials from the U.S. and China have reviewed the implementation of the phase one trade agreement. The U.S. Trade Representative’s Office summarized the meeting, saying there was a discussion about a significant increase in purchases of U.S. products by China. China’s official news agency described the joint meeting as “a constructive dialogue.” The recent trade tensions were acknowledged with China saying the U.S. should avoid sovereignty issues. That would include China’s relationship with Hong Kong and Taiwan.
