At a high-stakes summit in Beijing, the United States and China are moving closer to a managed trade agreement concerning $30 billion in non-sensitive goods. This initiative, proposed by US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, signifies a departure from previous US demands for China to shift its state-directed economic model towards a more consumer-driven approach. Instead, the discussions are centered on establishing numerical trading targets in non-strategic sectors while maintaining existing tariffs and export controls on sensitive technologies.
