Beijing is trying to win over other countries with vows of economic cooperation. But it won’t back down from its territorial claims, experts predict.

As the U.S. and China negotiate a trade deal, Trump has lowered a levy on “de minimis” low-value packages, such as online shopping from Shein or Temu.

The pause in super-high tariffs from the U.S. may discourage China from using the aggressive stimulus needed to jump-start its economy.

BEIJING (Reuters) -China will lower its tariffs on U.S. goods to 10% for an initial 90 days starting from 12:01 pm (0401 GMT) on Wednesday, Chinese finance ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.

China and the United States announced a truce in their trade war on Monday after talks in Geneva that will roll back the bulk of tariffs and other countermeasures by Wednesday.

These conditions have raised concerns in Beijing, with Zhang Yansheng, a senior researcher at the China Academy of Macroeconomic Research, describing the deal's clauses as "poison pills" that are worse than tariffs.

Negotiators from both sides have agreed to establish a dialogue mechanism for further talks, and US President Donald Trump says he will speak to his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping soon.

There are no winners in a trade war, Chinese President Xi Jinping told Latin American leaders and other officials in Beijing on Tuesday, as he sought to project unity with the region a day after the United States and China agreed to slash reciprocal tariffs.
