U.S. Trade Representative, Ambassador Katherine Tai noted that her office will soon release a “thoughtful and strategic recommendation in terms of how we will proceed with China”.  Ms. Tai has yet to meet with Vice Premier Liu He to review aspects of the Phase One Agreement signed in mid-January 2020. 

According to the May 3rd edition of USAPEEC MondayLine, discussions will involve non-compliance by China with the Phase One Agreement, including coercive trade practices, theft of intellectual property and other issues.  President Biden has retained tariffs imposed by the previous Administration as leverage in negotiations with China.
