Kudlow has warned that the process of working out trade issues with China will be a “lengthy” one. In the joint U.S.-China statement released last Saturday after the D.C.-based talks, the two countries agreed to the importance of intellectual property protections and to “strengthen cooperation.” China broadly agreed to “advance relevant amendments to its laws and regulations in this area, including the Patent Law.” However, the U.S. will now send a delegation back to China to work out the details of reducing the U.S. trade deficit with China and likely other details on trade as well.
