The distance is already visible. China was silent on future meetings, even as an American president Donald Trump He announced that he and the Chinese president Xi Jinping “Agreed” to meet At the APEC summit in South Korea next month.

Lack of details in Chinese side statement “It suggests that China takes time to negotiate when we are keen to make deals,” said Winson, a assistant professor at New York University Law Faculty, noting that “Beijing suggests that China takes time to negotiate when we are keen to make deals,” noting that Beijing is Beijing.

Then there are the mysterious obligations of China to a Technology license deal to Make Tiktok alive in the United States. – What you call “solution” Corresponding to China’s laws and regulations“

However, the more stances by both sides, the more difficult to achieve a deal with the optics that satisfy both sides.
