Trade talks between Washington and Beijing are due to resume later this month under a fragile truce that both sides have reasons to protect. Analysts told Reuters that a politically weaker President Trump may move more carefully before risking new tariffs or export controls that could unsettle markets. At the same time, they warned that Beijing cannot count on the change lasting. A Democratic Congress brings its own pressure on China, including over trade practices and human rights, and the analysts said a future administration could take a harder line than the current one. The video above summarises their assessment. The talks follow months of tariffs and counter tariffs between the two countries.
