also Vice Minister of Commerce Li Chenggang,
said the two sides have conducted professional, rational,
in-depth and candid exchanges u.s secretary of commerce howard ludnick also talked about a trade framework and implementation plan agreed with china according to media reports now the 100 million dollar question is whether the u.s will stick to its commitments this time around we know that immediately following the geneva talks the trump administration moved to issue so-called guidance warning the world against using certain huawei chips it then targets China with more high-tech export controls and also threatened to aggressively revoke Chinese students' visas.
