Wednesday stock in China’s biggest city and global financial hub Shanghai ended without a deal, but negotiators cited progress and agreed to meet again in September.
The United States has accused China of dragging its feet in the hope of getting a more favorable agreement.
Even before the meeting, US president Donald Trump warned Beijing that he might impose tougher trade terms in China, if the talks are not concluded before the 2020 US presidential election.
China’s foreign ministry said Wednesday that Beijing would not succumb to pressure.

It’s pointless to tell others to take medication when you’re the one who is sick. On the issue of trade negotiations, we think the United States should show more sincerity and good faith.
The two sides met face-to-face for the first time since they failed to reach an agreement at a meeting in Washington more than two months ago.
The US team led by trade representative Robert Light Heiser and Treasury Secretary Stephen Minuchin negotiated for China’s commitment to purchase American agricultural goods. China wants the U.S. to reduce tariffs on Chinese imports in the United States.
A key economist of the multinational investment bank Berenberg does not expect a speedy agreement.
The Chinese economy is more dependent on sales in the United States and on contact with a technology leader US with Silicon Valley than the other way around.
But the Chinese political system is more patient compared to the American system.
Both sides probably think they have better cards in their hands and that’s why it’s so hard to come to an agreement.
But the Hamburg based economist also warns that the prolonged dispute could undermine the global economy.
There are uncertainties that this dispute causes about the future trade regime affects not only China and the US but in principle the industry in almost the entire world and that is actually a major reason why the industry in Germany is weakening considerably.
The US-China trade dispute has dragged for more than a year with the world’s two largest economies imposing billions of dollars in tariffs on each other’s imports, affecting global supply chains and financial markets.

周三，在中国最大城市、全球金融中心上海，双方并未达成协议，不过代表表示取得了进展，而且双方都同意9月再次会见。
美国指责中国拖拖拉拉，只是希望能获得更有利的协议。
即便是在此次会议开始之前，美国总统特朗普就曾警示中国政府，他表示自己可能会对中国施加更为严厉的贸易条款，除非贸易谈判能在2020美国总统大选前结束。
中国外交部周三表示，中国政府不会屈服于压力。
当你生病的时候，告诉别人吃药是没有意义的。在贸易谈判问题上，我们认为美方应该展现更多的诚意和诚信。
双方首次面对面会谈，而上一次这样是2个多月以前，那时候，双方在华盛顿的会谈上也没有达成一致。
美方团队由贸易代表罗伯特·莱特·海塞尔和财政部长斯蒂芬·穆钦带领，当时谈判想要争取的是中国购买美国农产品的承诺。中方则希望美国能减少对中国进口到美国商品的关税。
跨国投资银行贝伦伯格是一位举足轻重的经济学家，他认为，协议不会很快达成。
中国经济更依赖于在美国出售，也依赖于技术领头羊美国硅谷。
但中国的政治体系与美国相比更有耐心。
双方很有可能都认为自己手里有更好的筹码，因此，协议很难达成。
但位于汉堡的经济学家也警示称，贸易争议的拉锯战会损害全球经济。
现在存在不确定性，这场贸易争议会引发未来的贸易体系，这影响到的不只是中国和美国，还影响到全世界的行业，这也是德国行业大幅衰弱的一个主要原因。
中美贸易纠纷已经拉锯了1年多，这两大经济体都对彼此的进口商品施加了数十亿美元的关税，影响到了国际供应链和金融市场。
