Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump agreed on Saturday to restart fractious China-US trade negotiations, with Beijing saying Washington agreed not to slap new tariffs on its exports, according to Chinese state media.
The two countries will restart the talks “on the basis of equality and mutual respect”, according to the official Xinhua news agency after the two leaders met on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Osaka.
Xi opened the meeting by noting they sat not far from the spot where 48 years earlier Chinese and American athletes faced off in table tennis, opening the door to “ping-pong diplomacy” that eventually led to the restoration of normal diplomatic relations.
