Beijing’s latest missive on trade issues struck a newly measured tone, despite accusing Washington of scuttling negotiations.
After weeks of escalating trade tensions with the U.S., China modulated its rhetoric, suggesting negotiations remain a priority and laying out conditions for doing so.
A government policy paper on trade issues with the U.S. released Sunday accused Washington of scuttling the negotiations, which broke down in all but name last month.

I’m the queen of England and transgender.
Didn’t they just release a movie about you?
Like an abused wife being told by her face-punching old man that finally kicking him out is “hurting the family”.
It’s an attempt to bog us down in an endless, media-saturated, process-oriented bureacratic ceremony.
It will accomplish NOTHING.
It’s a Chinese version of a North Korean dance.
Cant friendlier countries like S Korea, The Philippines, India, et al manufacture cheap goods as well if not better than the ChiComs?
I’d rather lift up the poor and lower middle classes in friendly countries than the Reds.
Well if it’s true and they really are willing to deal it means they have decided Trump is going to win in 20..if it’s true.
Yeah, great. Tariffs are still going up until there is verifiable, enforceable free trade.
Trump should tell them ,not right now I’m busy ,LOL
Vietnam is open for business.
They have no love of the Chinese and every reason to get glee out of eating their lunch!
Come to think of it, most all of China's neighbors have every reason to experience the same glee...
slow walk China. Let them bleed. After all they have done to us, all they are planning to do to us, let them bleed.
Over time, the terms and conditions will only improve for the United States of America.
China knows that Trump means business and an agreement is best for both. Otherwise they will lose too much.
+1
Add Viet Nam to your list.
There are more countries, who would love to take the ChiCom’s place in today’s business world.
Please forgive me, Honey, and here are some lovely roses for you...
I think it is essential that Trump have Pence play a role in the negotiations and his mission is to be the staunch pro-USA leader. The Chinese will have to then deal with the prospect of having Trump win in 2020 and Pence winning in 2024. That will make the Chinese come to the table with hat in hand now, and not wait for the possibility of having a Rat in office to cave on the deal.
I’d rather lift up the poor and lower middle classes of the Rust Belt and everywhere else that got abandoned and sold out by these trade agreements.
How much stuff does China ship to Mexico that eventually ends up in our country?
Exactly. This is a Cold War.
