中国驻美大使谢锋：中美经贸关系的本质是互利共赢
Chinese Ambassador to the US Xie Feng, in an interview with Newsweek published October 1, stated that the essence of China-US economic and trade relations is mutual benefit and win-win. He detailed ten outcomes from the eighth round of trade consultations held September 20-23 in New York and Washington, including a reciprocal tariff reduction on $30 billion each, extension of the tariff truce to January 10, 2027, and agreements on coal imports, agricultural cooperation, and an AI dialogue. Xie urged the US to reciprocate and lengthen the cooperation list while shortening the problem list.
