Senior Chinese official Li Chenggang described recent economic and trade discussions between China and the U.S. as "in-depth and candid," signaling progress in addressing complex bilateral issues. The remarks were made during a press briefing in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Sunday, underscoring ongoing efforts to stabilize global economic ties.
Li, China's international trade representative and vice minister of commerce, emphasized the constructive nature of the talks while reaffirming Beijing's commitment to resolving trade disputes through dialogue. The discussions, held amid rising geopolitical tensions, focused on market access, supply chain resilience, and mutual economic priorities.
Analysts suggest the talks reflect both nations' recognition of interconnected economic interests, particularly in technology and manufacturing sectors. For businesses and investors, the dialogue offers cautious optimism amid shifting regulatory landscapes across Asia.
Malaysia's role as a neutral venue highlights Southeast Asia's growing influence in facilitating international diplomacy. The outcome of these talks is expected to impact regional trade policies and investment flows in the coming months.
