A high-level trade delegation from the United States arrived in Beijing Thursday to hold talks with Chinese officials on trade policies. The U.S. team includes Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin. The Chinese side is led by Vice Premier Liu He, the top economic adviser to President Xi Jinping. U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly said that China has unfair trade policies that hurt the U.S. economy and its workers. Trump also wants to reduce the large U.S. trade deficit with China. Foreign companies are concerned about policies that, they say, force them to share technology with Chinese partners in order to do business in China. The negotiations are expected to deal with ways to resolve these trade disputes.
