| China says working with U.S. day and night to get trade deal |
| 2019-03-09 |
| BEIJING (Reuters) - China and the United States are still working day and night to achieve a trade deal that matches the interests of both sides and the hopes of the world, including eliminating tit-for-tat tariffs, a senior Chinese official said on Saturday. Chinese Vice Commerce Minister Wang Shouwen said he was optimistic about negotiations with Washington, but added any trade mechanism achieved must be equal and fair. The governments of the world’s two largest economies have been locked in a tariff battle for months as Washington presses Beijing to address long-standing concerns over Chinese practices and policies around industrial subsidies, technology transfers, market access and intellectual property rights. |

| #1 They do need to. Since they run such a huge surplus with us, any trade war will necessarily hurt them worse than it hurts us. Any business where a customer says they are thinking of buying less from you would work day and night to make sure the purchases continue. |
