negotiating table and they appear willing to keep talking until they find a solution to their trade conflict overall plutonia the yard. the strongest demand from both the chinese side and the u.s. side is to stop the trade war and stop imposing more tariffs on each other's products this time both sides pledge to stop a trade war and develop good relations in trade or in a mass meant i think this is a major demand from both countries. so it will be. china has already made concessions saying it will significantly increase purchases of u.s. goods and services it's an attempt to address u.s. president donald trump demand to reduce china's three hundred seventy five billion dollar trade surplus no details have been released yes but the countries have agreed not to impose further tariffs on each other while they continue to negotiate a trade deal. speaking in an interview with fox news u.s.

treasury secretary steve minutia had this to say for. the present we have a very good framework agreement that's not just about buying goods it's about structural changes it's about lowering tariffs china has committed to lower tariffs on many things and make structural changes and protect our technology so these are very important issues for the u.s. economy and now we're going to make sure that this gets implemented. to taunt and months of tension between the two countries which markets into a frenzy but with little concrete information released about the details of the negotiations the stakes remain high. while asian markets of greece have the news with great relief the opinions vary on the streets of beijing. and if we should try to be the first in as many fields as possible so china can come to the us is good and so bob orthogonal to me you think the trade war could harm investors so there shouldn't be one china and the us should work together from the same foundations ok

develop its economy as it sees fit and how this already priced to china be fixed on its position of increasing imports rather than a negative position all cutting exports like i will all that said how long will the truce hold then that's the big question. it's a million dollar question not just the big one but one thing's for sure it will be temporary as what you report to a halt in theory this is going to be because we don't know take note that this is a show that china has the killer lead it to the u.s. but rather this is about giving both economies the time and space to rethink and restricted its trade deficit both that trade definitive it's also worth noting that china has successfully muscled its way around the terrorist proving this trend to trump but we can be relieved that as you said the two of these talking you said oh spitting one tariff at each other after another ultimately it seems both parties

understand how detrimental doing this to both economies this has been well andrea i wouldn't call it relenting at all china has a massive growing middle class so buying more from the u.s. under this deal would suit it so from what i see it doesn't take much to appease donald trump beijing has got the deal its hands here it's got a good deal that's a failed savation given how restrictive china has been in the old economic speech i think what the u.s. wants us but china to ease some of its market boundaries and that's something that even the e.u. has found quite challenging in trouble so to work around at the same time trump has to find a way to be to go with china because his tensions have somewhat backfired the chinese also have to be very careful not to be too optimistic about eight inches between the you with the u.s. and in an extreme point of view it is quite ready to quietly ready to defend its
