US-China talks draw a blank

US and Chinese negotiators ended two days of meetings without breaking a deadlock over trade that has unnerved financial markets and disrupted global commerce.

The delegations “exchanged views on how to achieve fairness, balance and reciprocity in the economic relationship,” Lindsay Walters, a White House spokeswoman, said in a statement.

She did not mention further talks. A Chinese Commerce Ministry statement said the talks were “constructive and frank” but gave no details.
