China’s president offers US possible trade concessions

In regard to the United States. Chinese President Xi Jinping proposed cuts to automobile tariffs and improvements to intellectual property rights protections at a business conference this Tuesday.

Though no formal negotiation is in progress, President Xi’s speech may be an important development.
