China's Gao Feng: China, US trade talks have resumed at a high level

China's Commerce Ministry spokesman Gao Feng announced that US-China talks have resumed at a weekly press briefing today in Beijing, but offered no specific details or explanations as to what is being discussed, or by whom.

US-China trade talks have been seen "thawing" after a three-month hiatus, precipitated by a call from China's Xi Jingping, but both sides remain tense with Beijing looking ready to deal on trade but giving little leeway, and the US still slated to increase China-targeted tariffs to 25% in January.
