China’s Commerce Minister Wang Wentao raised “serious concerns” with U.S. Trade
Representative Jamieson Greer over new Section 301 probes, part of Donald
Trump’s revived tariff strategy. Meeting on the sidelines of the WTO conference,
both sides signaled willingness to stabilize ties ahead of a potential Trump–Xi
summit. Wang urged avoiding “vicious competition.” The White House said Trump
may visit Beijing May 14–15, though China has yet to confirm.
