China-US Talks: Beijing Open If Trump Shows Respect

Bloomberg has learned China is willing to agree to trade talks with the US under the right terms including President Trump showing respect and reining in disparaging remarks by members of his cabinet. Other conditions include a more consistent US position and a willingness to address China’s concerns around American sanctions and Taiwan. Beijing also wants the US to appoint a point person for talks who has the president’s support and can help prepare a deal that Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping can sign when they meet.
