#USChinaTradeTalks

The US-China trade talks represent high-stakes negotiations aimed at resolving longstanding economic tensions between the world's two largest economies. Key issues include significant US tariffs on Chinese goods, allegations of unfair trade practices, forced technology transfer, intellectual property theft, and subsidies to Chinese state-owned enterprises. While a limited "Phase One" deal in 2020 addressed some agricultural purchases and intellectual property, major structural concerns remain unresolved. Talks are complex and often stalled, reflecting deep strategic competition beyond pure trade, encompassing technology dominance and national security. The outcome significantly impacts global supply chains, inflation, and economic stability, making these discussions a critical, ongoing focal point in international relations.
