He Lifeng Holds Trade Talks With Bessent and Greer

Chinese economic and trade lead He Lifeng held a video call with US counterparts Bessent and Greer on the evening of November 6, 2026, Beijing time. The officials discussed economic and trade issues of mutual concern, including the implementation of understandings reached by the two countries’ leaders and the outcomes of trade consultations.

China expressed serious concern over recent US trade restrictions on China. Both sides agreed to maintain communication.

The call keeps a channel open for discussion of the restrictions, but the agreement to communicate does not itself establish a change to those measures. For businesses engaged in trade between the two countries, the practical significance will depend on whether subsequent discussions lead to changes in the restrictions or their application.

Further official announcements could clarify which measures are addressed and whether any specific outcomes follow.
