China, US resume trade talks

China and the US on Friday resumed trade talks in Beijing, giving another push to their high-stakes negotiations to end their months-long tariff war.

Chinese Vice-Premier Liu He met US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.

The top US and Chinese trade officials have been holding a series of talks to



end the tariff war between the world's two largest economies.

The talks were kicked off by US President Donald Trump last year who demanded Beijing to reduce the 375 billion dollar trade deficit, protection of intellectual property rights technology transfer and more access to American goods into China's markets.
