As the US and China approach the end of the first month of their 90-day truce, both sides have been engaging in intense talks to bring an end to the trade war.
While there have been positive signs – China has rolled back tariffs, made large orders on US products and released statements about “new progress” in trade talks – the truce comes after months of heightened tensions and escalating tariffs from both countries.
By the time Chinese President Xi Jinping met his US counterpart Donald Trump at the G20 summit in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in November, the US had imposed tariffs on US$250 billion worth of Chinese goods.
