Plenty of comments coming from China today and while the NPC continues

The latest crossing the wires is the above the yuan.

Also this, from China's Commerce Minster Zhnogn:

  • China-US trade negotiations should be based on principle of mutual respect and equality
  • trade talks have been 'difficult'
  • trade talks difficult due to differences in culture, stages of economic development
  • trade talks have been 'very short' even after extensions
  • China and US should seek common grounds while setting aside differences if they want to reach consensus
  • Some areas in trade talks have achieved a breakthrough
  • Working teams from both sides are talking right now

On balance, positive comments. But the guy is not gushing.
