Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, Beijing’s top official overseeing economic and trade negotiations with Washington, held a video call on Friday evening with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.

The two sides conducted an “in-depth and constructive” discussion focused on implementing the consensus reached by Presidents Xi Jinping and Donald Trump during their recent summit in Busan and a subsequent phone call on Nov. 24, China's official Xinhua News Agency reported.

The conversation reflects continued efforts by the world’s two largest economies to stabilize an increasingly complex bilateral relationship. With tensions simmering on multiple fronts, the emphasis was on pursuing pragmatic cooperation and managing economic differences.
