imbalance washington imposed tariffs on chinese goods threatening to increase those terrorists from ten to twenty five percent unless the two sides can reach a deal the u.s. is pushing hard for improved market access in china washington is insisting on data protection against product piracy and wants an end to beijing's practice of forcing foreign companies doing business in china to give local companies access to the intellectual property the u.s. is also taking aim at state subsidies in key technologies such as the semiconductor industry at the same time china is expected to further open its market for agricultural products from america now the chinese side on the other hand is already responded by imposing its own sanctions on u.s. products but beijing is also expected to concede on some areas of conflict and make concessions on aspects such as the import of farm products so now that we approach

the ninth round of trade talks between china and the u.s. will it be the decisive round let's bring in w.'s correspondent in high pay william young william what can we expect from those talks today yes monica i think we can expect that both sides will try very hard to resolve the differences in how to implement and enforce the final trade deal while china and the u.s. have resolved a lot of the outstanding issues in the last few rounds of the talks two issues remain to be resolved in today's discussion one of it is that beijing still wants washington to lift all the existing terrorists on chinese goods while washington wants beijing to agree to the terms of the enforcement mechanism because it is very important to ensure that the gene will abide by the rules but said it is ready to make concessions how will that impact talks and what are chinese making all that.

so earlier this week china announced that they will stop applying the terrorists on cars and out of parts imported from the u.s. and experts they view it as a night or goodwill gesture from beijing because the shows that they are still willing to sit down and try to reach a final deal with the u.s. and with the optimism that we have been hearing from both sides for the last few weeks it shows that both sides of very very knows the stake here very well and if the talks are as that starts today that goes very well it could pave the way for xi jinping and donald trump to meet later in the near future and sign a final deal ok so there could be another round in between william young there reporting from our studio in taipei thank you so much. a world trade organization warns that world's trade growth is slowing at an alarming rate blaming political instability caused by the u.s.

like that i.m.f. outlook but of course of course you know there are still risks in the form of surprise twist say there is there is no u.s. china trade deal say it escalates or there is no clear way forward for bribes that well then there is definitely be a mood change here in the market all right so you say that for investors the glass is never half full that lived in their own sort of sense of reality and if you say looking at some mistake possibilities there is there a light at the end of the tunnel. well the i.m.f. did say that growth is expected to pick up later this year assuming the best case scenarios for those big concerns through the global economy like trade and brags that the federal reserve and central banks are also slowing down the pace. raising borrowing costs have town down recession and fears somewhat but christine legarde also took this opportunity to once again advise governments to address of the.
