- Story Text:China's premier Li Keqiang met with former U.S. Secretary Henry Paulson on Wednesday (October 23) in Beijing.
He said cooperation between China and the United States can create mutual benefit, as negotiations between the world's two largest economies over a trade war continue to drag on.
Beijing on Tuesday (October 22) offered major Chinese and international soybean processors waivers that would exempt the companies from steep tariffs on imports of up to 10 million tonnes of U.S. soybeans, according to two people briefed on the matter.
The waivers, however, failed to unleash a flood of immediate buying on Tuesday as U.S. prices remained too high, according to U.S. export traders. Market conditions have continued to determine Chinese buying in recent weeks despite U.S. President Donald Trump's assurances of a wave of imminent sales.
