Torbjörn Petersson: Both China and the united states have good reasons to seek reconciliation in times of concern

Liu He is chinese president Xi Jinpings's chief economic adviser. He is China's key person in the talks and appeared already at the meeting in Beijing, despite the fact that it was held between negotiators at an intermediate level. As for the show the great chinese desire for a speedy solution.

the Speed with which Liu He now goes to Washington shows how close countries come together.

he Travels in short, this suggests a chinese eagerness to complete the discussions and to put the costly trade wars. And an equally american belief that a solution is within reach.

displays the most likely difficulties for the united states and China to agree on complex issues that divided them for decades – as the requirements of the changing fundamentals of the chinese industry and the protection of intellectual property rights. Perhaps, the gossips it also on a chinese reluctance to clarify how the country over the years, often at the local level, the east has subsidies of their enterprises.

the Meeting in Beijing was the first between the united states and China to discuss the handelskonflikten then president of the united states Donald Trump and his chinese colleague, Xi Jinping, met on 1 december and then decided on a ceasefire in the dispute.

If no agreement has been reached on march 2, has Donald Trump threatened to go ahead with the plan to increase tariffs from the current ten per cent to 25 per cent on imported chinese goods covering a value of 200 billion dollars.

on China is that the country must buy goods and services to a larger value from the US and that american companies are treated fairly in the chinese market.

at Least when it comes to purchases from the united states seems China already convinced the other party of their good intentions.

on Monday, China made its third major purchase of u.s. soybeans.

to the imports of five genetically modified (gm) crops, which can greatly increase China's purchase of grain from american farmers.

China's willingness to increase imports from the united states looks to be the smallest problem in the negotiations. But the U.S. strategy this time is also to try nailing China on the promises it previously made, but to fulfill. At that point, waiting for the major division.

Still, both parties have good reasons to seek reconciliation in times of concern.

In China is going through private entrepreneurs anguish and pain over the threat of a negative development. Trade wars has influenced the public mood. Consumers hold in the money. On Wednesday, the statistics showed that sales of passenger cars fell by 19 per cent in december, compared with a year earlier. It is the steepest noted the decline in the country has grown to the world's top automobile market in the world.

not exported many cars to the united states, but from the 2020 plan on at least six chinese automakers ' export activities to the united states.

But even the united states has reason to reach a solution on the handelskonflikten. Donald Trump wants to stabilise the shaky stock market, and three different us departments, with different agendas included, according to the New York Times in the negotiations with China.

The extended meeting in Beijing with a day suggests the ambition from both sides to mangle further.

most likely several rounds of meetings to carve out all of the details that the american side is so eager to put down in writing. The timing for when the chinese economic adviser, Liu He shows up in Washington provides a response to the state of the negotiations.

it would be easy to reach an end result, there is no think. But the alternative is so bad that it deters. And in the meantime, the parties continue to move closer to each other, they can always do up to extend the truce.
