The US-China trade talks resumed on Monday amid rising tensions between the two nations.
Representatives from the US Trade Representative's office met with Chinese officials in Beijing to discuss a range of issues, including tariffs and intellectual property protections.
The talks come as the US has imposed new tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods, sparking concerns about a potential trade war.
China has vowed to retaliate against the US measures, which could have significant implications for global markets.
The US is seeking concessions from China on issues such as intellectual property theft and forced technology transfers, while China wants the US to roll back tariffs it has imposed on Chinese goods.
A resolution to the trade dispute appears elusive, with both sides dug in on their positions.
