Chinese Delegation and U.S. Hold Open Trade Talks in Madrid

In Madrid, Spain, the Chinese mainland delegation, led by Li Chenggang — China’s international trade representative with the Ministry of Commerce and vice minister of commerce — took to the podium for a press briefing after economic and trade talks with the United States.

According to Li, the sessions were “open, in-depth and constructive,” covering a range of mutual concerns from market access and regulatory cooperation to one of the hot topics in global tech policy: TikTok’s overseas operations.

For business and tech enthusiasts, the spotlight on TikTok highlights how digital platforms are now central to trade negotiations. Li noted that addressing shared issues could help build a stable foundation for innovation and cross-border data governance.

Young global citizens and digital nomads around the world will be watching closely: any tangible outcomes could influence investment trends and the rules that shape our interconnected digital economy.

As global markets monitor these developments, the Madrid briefing stands out as a key moment in the evolving economic relationship between the Chinese mainland and the United States.
