Talks between U.S. and Chinese trade officials seeking ways to end a year long trade war lasted barely half a day before ending on Wednesday with a terse response from China’s Foreign Ministry to U.S. President Donald Trump’s warning not to stall. ...华岳论坛 - "http://hua-yue.net" 

As U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin landed in Shanghai on Tuesday, Trump accused Beijing on Twitter of stalling, and warned of a worse outcome for China if it continued to do so. ...华岳论坛 - "http://washeng.net" 

This week’s meetings, the first in-person trade talks since a G20 truce last month, amounted to a working dinner on Tuesday at Shanghai’s historic riverfront Fairmont Peace Hotel and a half-day of negotiations on Wednesday. Neither team made immediate public comments. ...华岳论坛 - "http://hua-yue.net" 

Chinese Vice Premier Liu He, who leads the Chinese delegation, waved off Lighthizer, Mnuchin and other U.S. officials as their motorcade pulled away from Shanghai’s Xijiao State Guest Hotel following a group photo session that concluded around 1:45 p.m. [0545 GMT], about 30 minutes before it was originally scheduled to begin. ...华岳论坛 - "http://washeng.net" 

A U.S. government official told Reuters that the U.S. officials were headed to the airport. 

The trade war between the world’s two largest economies has disrupted global supply chains and shaken financial markets as each side has slapped tariffs on billions of dollars of each other’s goods. ...华岳论坛 - "http://hua-yue.net" 

An official Chinese government survey released on Wednesday showed China’s factory activity shrank for the third month in a row in July, underlining the growing strains the row has placed on the No. 2 economy. ...华岳论坛 - "http://washeng.net" 

The Shanghai talks were expected to centre on  “goodwill” gestures, such as Chinese commitments to purchase U.S. agricultural commodities and steps by the United States to ease some sanctions on Chinese telecoms equipment giant Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, a person familiar with the discussions told Reuters earlier. ...华岳论坛 - "http://hua-yue.net" 

Those issues are somewhat removed from the more core U.S. complaints in the trade dispute, including Chinese state subsidies, forced technology transfers and intellectual property violations.

Don’t expect any big announcements from US-China trade meetings 

‘No deal is fine’ 

As talks were just beginning on Tuesday, Trump said on Twitter that China appeared to be backing off on a pledge to buy U.S. farm goods, and he warned that if China stalled  negotiations in the hope that he wouldn’t win re-election in the November 2020 U.S. presidential contest, the outcome will be worse for China. ...华岳论坛 - "http://washeng.net" 

“The problem with them waiting 

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying, responding to a question about those tweets, said she was not aware of the latest developments during talks, but that it was clear it was the United States who continued to  “flip flop”. ...华岳论坛 - "http://hua-yue.net" 

“I believe it doesn’t make any sense for the U.S. to exercise its campaign of maximum pressure at this time. It’s pointless to tell others to take medication when you’re the one who is sick,” Hua told a news briefing. ...华岳论坛 - "http://washeng.net" 

Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed in June at the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan, to restart trade talks that stalled in May, after Washington accused Beijing of reneging on major portions of a draft agreement -- a collapse in the talks that prompted a steep U.S. tariff hike on $200 billion of Chinese goods. ...华岳论坛 - "http://hua-yue.net" 

The U.S. Commerce Department put Huawei on a national security blacklist in May, effectively banning U.S. firms from selling to Huawei, a move that enraged Chinese officials. 

Trump said after the Osaka meeting that he would not impose new tariffs on a final $300 billion of Chinese imports and would ease some U.S. restrictions on Huawei if China agreed to make purchases of U.S. agricultural products. ...华岳论坛 - "http://washeng.net" 

But so far, U.S. semiconductor and software makers are still mostly in the dark about the administration’s plans. 

In Sao Paulo on Tuesday, U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said decisions on license applications by U.S. firms to resume some sales to Huawei could come as early as next week. 

Hu Xijin, editor-in-chief of China’s state-run Global Times tabloid, wrote on Twitter that the negotiators had  “efficient and constructive” exchanges. 

“The two sides discussed increasing purchase of U.S. farm products and the U.S. side agreed to create favourable conditions for it. They will hold future talks,” Hu said, without elaborating. 

Earlier, the Global Times said if Washington still holds the illusion that Beijing will somehow cave in and compromise on issues concerning sovereignty,  “then no deal is fine”.

“9月美国再会”？整个8月都没有安排？那明显是比5月前的谈判节奏慢了许多啊。如果还需要再谈10轮的话，那就要谈到2020年中了。看起来中国的确是一个“拖”字诀，要争取给美国“一个更差的协议”。

報導指出，根據之前的時間表，攝影中美最初安排在下午2時15分左右才結束。暫時未有任何一位官員發表公開言論。美國官員隨後立即啟程前往機場。 

中美代表今早在上海舉行第二日高級別貿易磋商。大陸副總理劉鶴與美國貿易代表賴海哲(Robert Lighthizer)，以及財長米努勤(Steven Mnuchin)會前先握手和合照，雙方再開始正式會談。 

外界早前預期，雙方不會作出重大原則性讓步，預計此次貿易磋商不會取得重大突破。
