Chinese experts say Beijing is open to talks but is being stonewalled by the State Department and other official channels.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping is angry about a Hong Kong company’s plan to sell Panama Canal ports to a U.S.-led group, in part because the company didn’t seek Beijing’s approval in advance.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday suggested that Chinese President Xi Jinping may visit the United States "in the not-too-distant future" for talks as economic tensions escalate between the powers.
