Watch: US and China are ready to talk tariffs – who will blink first?

Published

US and Chinese officials are set to start trade negotiations in Switzerland this weekend.

The binational talks come after US President Donald Trump imposed a 145% tariff on China in April, and China hit back with a 125% tariff. Trade between the two countries has declined significantly.

So, who will blink first on tariffs?

The BBC’s North America and Asia Senior Journalists, Bernd Debusmann and Tessa Wong, analyse US and China’s moves ahead of the negotiation.
