Sino-US trade talks on positive track

Hope is rising for the Sino-US trade talks as both negotiation teams are trying their best to turn the consensus reached between both countries' leaders into reality, according to the Ministry of Commerce on Saturday.

Tariff hikes do no help any parties, Wang Shouwen, vice-minister of commerce, told a press conference during the two sessions on Saturday.

A mutually beneficial agreement between China and the United States will meet both countries' interest and also the whole world's expectation, Wang added.
