SHANGHAI: Chinese and US trade negotiators started official trade talks in Shanghai on Wednesday in a bid to bring an end a year-long trade war, despite a Twitter tirade by President Donald Trump slamming China's commitment to making a deal.
This time the US leader said Beijing was supposed to start buying US agricultural products but they have shown"no signs that they are doing so". " Trump seems eager to get a deal, that shows his weakness," said Shanghai-based professor Shen Dingli. "The short duration of the current meeting to me suggests that this is exploratory," said J. Michael Cole, a Taipei-based senior fellow with the Global Taiwan Institute in Washington.
US trade negotiators entered and left their hotel on Shanghai's famous waterfront through side doors without going through public areas, and did not stop to speak to the press or show their faces.
