High-level officials from the U.S. and the Chinese mainland wrapped up their third economic working group meeting in Beijing this week, aiming to cool trade tensions and boost cooperation. Think of it as the 'Barbie' meets Oppenheimer of global economics—stakes are high, and everyone’s watching. 💬
The two-day session, co-led by Chinese Vice Minister of Finance Liao Min and U.S. Deputy Treasury Secretary Jay Shambaugh, focused on macroeconomic policies, G20 collaboration, and debt relief for developing nations. But it wasn’t all smooth sailing—China called out U.S. tariffs and investment restrictions, calling them roadblocks to fair play. 🚧
Despite differences, both sides agreed to keep the convo going—a small win for stability in an era of TikTok-drama geopolitics. 🤝
