China has put forward proposals regarding technology transfer requirements in trade negotiations with the US. American companies often have to transfer a product’s technology to Chinese partners, officials or regulators, to do business with them, an unnamed official said. The US claims the technology is often copied by Chinese rivals. US trade representatives travelled to Beijing for talks on a week later, with the Chinese delegation due to visit Washington for more talks 28 March. Regardless of how the talks go, US tariffs are likely to remain on Chinese goods for some time to ensure compliance, said President Donald Trump.
