The U.S.-China Trade Meeting’s Low Bar: Progress

Christopher Adams’ commentary was included in a Politico article discussing the evolving trade negotiations between the United States and China. Christopher comments on what he’s observing from the Chinese government’s lead negotiator, Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng.“He’s probably mostly in listening mode, and will take back what he receives to President Xi. I assume they’ve thought through various options and pathways, but I don’t think he has much authority to make decisions at the table,” Christopher said.
