US-China trade war truce could help break-up efforts

According to the South China Morning Post, the US and China are likely to extend their trade war truce for up to a year. The extension is anticipated to be finalized during a visit by US President Donald Trump to Beijing. The meeting between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping is tentatively scheduled for the first week of April, potentially following Trump's arrival on March 31 for a three-day trip. The exact timing is still under discussion as Beijing considers scheduling around the Ching Ming festival on April 5. The extension aims to de-escalate trade tensions between the two countries.
