#中美经贸会谈# China-US economic and trade talks

**I. Background of the Talks**

The China-U.S. economic and trade talks are an important mechanism for communication and negotiation between China and the United States on issues in the economic and trade fields. In recent years, with changes in the global economic situation and the deepening development of economic and trade relations between China and the United States, cooperation and competition between the two sides in the economic and trade sectors have become increasingly prominent. To maintain the stability and development of the economic and trade relationship between the two countries, both China and the U.S. hold regular economic and trade talks to engage in in-depth exchanges and discussions on economic and trade issues of mutual concern.
