The WSJ reports
The report says that China president Xi Jinping will use the meeting with US president Donald Trump to set out terms that the US should meet before Beijing would be ready to achieve a trade truce between the two countries.
Adding that:
"Among the preconditions, said Chinese officials with knowledge of the plan, Beijing is insisting that the U.S. remove its ban on the sale of U.S. technology to Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei Technologies Co. Beijing also wants the U.S. to lift all punitive tariffs and drop efforts to get China to buy even more U.S. exports than Beijing said it would when the two leaders last met in December."

That's certainly interesting because it'll mean that Trump will have to take a step back on his recent hard line against China for them to try and move forward in this whole trade ordeal again. I reckon that's a tough ask of him but if it does get them over the line to get a deal done, it could yet be the right strategic move in the bigger picture.
However, it still doesn't really resolve the other more structural issues that they've been struggling to work out. So, there's that as well.
