China signals, ever so obliquely, that it's more open to trade talks
Briefly

China has indicated a willingness to engage in trade negotiations with the Trump administration, despite continuing tensions in the trade war. Recent analyses suggest that this shift in stance might lead to potential talks, especially in light of new data revealing economic damage on both sides. However, China stipulates that the U.S. must take concrete actions before negotiations can start. Political analysts view this as a possible tactical move for China to gauge U.S. intentions while maintaining a dominant position in discussions.
This could be a way for China to observe - and potentially draw out - the U.S.'s true intentions, while keeping the upper hand in both dialogue and confrontation.
China appears ready to engage with the U.S. on talks or negotiations, indicating a shift in their trade war messaging.
Nobody wants this war, a stance maintained by China since the onset of the trade tensions.
With new data showing the trade war's impact on both economies, there is a fragile opportunity for negotiations to take place.
