US, China Buy Time with Trade Truce as Pressure Builds
The truce runs through Jan. 10 and a new channel will let Washington and Beijing warn each other about artificial intelligence threats.
- The United States and China extended their trade truce on Friday and established a communication channel for artificial intelligence incidents, marking a diplomatic effort to manage rising technology risks between the world's two largest economies.
- Previously set to expire in November, the truce extension provides temporary relief as both nations manage ongoing tensions that experts describe as a state of 'bitter competition' over trade, technology, and industrial policy.
- Both countries will provide preferential tariff treatment for $30 billion of 'non-sensitive goods' in each direction, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent describing the move as essential for maintaining economic stability.

- Despite these diplomatic steps, analysts warn the competitive instincts driving the artificial intelligence race remain largely unchanged, with experts questioning whether China is doing more than the bare minimum to maintain the agreement.
