On the eve of U.S. President Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the G-20 Summit later this week, Beijing recently signaled how it would approach trade discussions, as well as the increased international scrutiny of the situation in Hong Kong following mass protests against an extradition bill.
Economies around the world are hoping that the Trump–Xi meeting will yield a resolution to the U.S.–China trade dispute, after recent tensions due to tit-for-tat tariff increases and export bans on Chinese and U.S. companies.
