Oct. 8 (UPI) -- Chinese Vice Premier Liu He said Tuesday he will lead Beijing's delegation to attend new U.S. trade talks in Washington, D.C., this week, which come at a time of growing tensions between the feuding nations.
Liu announced he will head the delegation for the high-level economic and trade consultations, scheduled for Thursday and Friday. It will be the 13th round of trade negotiations since the conflict began more than a year ago.
