Chinese Vice Premier Lui He will lead a delegation to Washington to sign the phase one trade agreement between the U.S. and China, with the South China Morning Post reporting the delegation will arrive in Washington Saturday and be in the U.S. a "few days." President Donald Trump on Dec. 24 said he and Chinese President Xi Jinping would meet to sign the phase one deal, "but China has yet to confirm this."
U.S. Trade Representative Bob Lighthizer said earlier this month that representatives from both the countries would sign the phase one trade deal agreement in the first week of January.
Meanwhile, China's Ambassador to the U.S. Cui Tiankai told China state television CGTN that there is no problem for the country to live up to the commitments it has made in the phase one trade deal. "We will always implement what we promised. There is no problem with that," Cui said. "The U.S. has made commitments to the one-China policy. I just hope they will honor their commitment."
