Trade Tensions Ease as China Signals Openness to Dialogue


China has expressed its willingness to engage in trade talks with the United States, following President Donald Trump's indication that tariffs on Chinese goods could be significantly reduced. The announcement comes amidst escalating trade tensions, with tariffs reaching as high as 145% on Chinese imports. Beijing, which has imposed counter-tariffs of 125% on U.S. goods, reiterated its stance that trade wars have no winners and emphasized the importance of mutual respect in negotiations.

The developments mark a potential turning point in the trade war, offering hope for a resolution that could stabilize global economic relations.
