Li Chenggang: China and the United States constructively discussed some solutions to properly handle the concerns of both sides on relevant issues, and reached a preliminary consensus

On October 26th, Li Chenggang, the international trade negotiator and vice minister of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, said on the 26th that the discussions between the two sides included many topics, such as export control issues that both sides have concerns about, the issue of further extending the suspension period of reciprocal tariffs, the issue of fentanyl tariffs and fentanyl anti-drug cooperation, further expanding trade issues, and the issue of US 301 ship charges. China and the United States have had constructive discussions on this. The position expressed by the United States is tough, and China is firm in safeguarding its interests. After more than a day of very tense discussions, China and the United States have constructively discussed some solutions to properly handle the concerns of both sides on the above issues, and have formed a preliminary consensus. The next step will be to go through the internal approval process.
