The USA has invited China for another round of trade talk to de-escalate the trade tension created by the US in the first place.

Investors are pinning hopes on this round of trade talk and stock markets are up over this US trade invitation.

As long as the US doesn't understand that it cannot cower China into submission, no trade deal will come out of this upcoming trade talk.  Hopefully, the badly affected businessmen are able to persuade the USA to back down.
