US and China Showing Willingness to Negotiate says LSE Academic

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's meeting with Chinese officials in Geneva indicated "a willingness on both parts to negotiate and to try and sort of find a way forward," says Elizabeth Ingleson, Assistant Professor at the London School of Economics and author of Made in China: When US-China Interests Converged to Transform Global Trade. "Long term there is a structural shift happening within China to move as much as possible away from a reliance on trade with the United States," she adds.
