The 90-day tariff truce agreed by the United States and China during trade talks in Switzerland last weekend is too short, China's state-backed Global Times said on Friday, as envoys from the world's two biggest economies regrouped in Korea.

Beijing is trying to win over other countries with vows of economic cooperation. But it won’t back down from its territorial claims, experts predict.

In a significant development for global trade, the United States and China have agreed to a 90-day pause in their escalating tariff war, substantially reducing tariffs on each other's goods. The US will cut tariffs on Chinese imports from 145% to 30%, while China will lower tariffs on American goods from 125% to 10%.
