#USChinaTradeTalks The trade negotiations between the United States and China have addressed, in addition to tariffs and intellectual property, issues involving technology and digital finance. One of the emerging topics is the use of cryptocurrencies and the advancement of the Chinese digital currency (e-CNY).

Meanwhile, China seeks financial autonomy and greater control over capital flows.
