CHINA: Chinese State Media Reiterates 'Core Concerns' After Trade Call (BBG)

- Chinese state media reiterated the nation's core demands in trade talks with

the U.S., including the removal of all punitive tariffs, after top negotiators

spoke on the phone last week.

- "For China, removing all the additional tariffs is a core concern that has not

changed and will never change; even if there is a first phase deal, this core

concern should be reflected," Taoran Notes, a blog affiliated with state-run

Economic Daily, wrote Saturday. China's insistence on a "realistic" value for

U.S. purchases and a "balanced" text of the agreement remains, the post said,

while the U.S.'s core concern is agricultural purchases.
