Chinese and U.S. negotiators are mapping out talks to try to end their trade standoff. The move comes ahead of planned meetings between President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping in November. As tariffs on both sides begin to take a toll, the planned talks are aimed at ending the current spiraling impasse. A prolonged conflict with Washington threatens to derail China’s plans to remake its economy and transform into a global superpower. Meanwhile, America’s strong economy is said to be giving Washington leverage in negotiations with China.
