China premier Li: Hopes to appropriately resolve differences with the US

Comments by Chinese premier Li Keqiang

• Hopes China and US will meet each other half way
• Hopes China and US hand differences with mutual respect, equal cooperation
• Says that 'we have the capability and wisdom to overcome barriers and push forth relations back to a normal track'

The usual conciliatory tones coming out from China's top bureaucrats. So far nothing to suggest that we're getting closer towards a compromise between the two nations on trade.
