China is reviewing US offers to restart trade negotiations, following recent outreach from senior US officials. While considering the proposal, China insists the US must remove all unilateral tariffs, viewing their continued presence as a lack of sincerity. The US has imposed 145% tariffs on Chinese goods, met with retaliatory 125% tariffs from China. Both countries have implemented exemptions on some products to lessen the economic blow. Negotiations remain uncertain pending US action.
