U.S. trade negotiators arrived in Beijing on Thursday to start a new round of talks aimed at ending a tariff war over China's technology ambitions as officials hint they might be making progress. The chief American envoy, Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, said this week that questions about details and enforcement remain to be answered. The chief Chinese envoy, Vice Premier Liu He, is due to visit Washington in early April for more talks. Trump also raised another potential obstacle last week, saying he wants to keep in place 25 percent taxes on $50 billion of Chinese goods. Chinese negotiators want to avoid giving too much before they figure out what Washington will settle for, said Mercurio, a former Canadian trade negotiator.
