Despite trade tension, China and US keep lines open on ‘issues of common concern’
Despite ongoing trade tensions, China and the US are maintaining open communication channels. This week, US Treasury Department officials visited a Chinese government-affiliated think tank in Beijing to discuss China's macroeconomy and US-China trade relations.
The visit by Oliver Melton and Tyler Makepeace to the Institute of World Economics and Politics (IWEP) at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) signals a continued effort by both Washington and Beijing to stay connected, even amidst disagreements on issues like tariffs, technology, Taiwan, and the South China Sea. CASS plays a key role in advising the Chinese government, while US Treasury financial attaches serve as liaisons between the two countries' economic systems. This follows a recent meeting between China's vice foreign minister and the US embassy's deputy chief of mission, further highlighting the commitment to dialogue.
