Washington is pressing Beijing for changes including rolling back plans for government-led creation of Chinese global champions in robotics and other fields. Chinese officials have suggested Beijing might alter its industrial plans but they have rejected pressure to abandon their blueprint for greater prosperity and global influence. A Chinese foreign ministry spokesman rejected suggestions that Kim’s visit was intended as a bargaining chip during the trade talks.
