CHINA PRESS: Beijing is sending a top-level envoy to Washington in an
attempt to mend frayed trade ties with the world’s biggest economy and
fend off calls for a stronger yuan, The South China Morning Post
reported at the weekend. The Ministry of Commerce said Vice-Minister
Zhong Shan will lead a delegation next week to meet representatives of
the US Department of Commerce, Treasury and Congress to ease trade
frictions and resolve trade-related issues.
