In a few hours, Yang Jiechi -director of the General office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China for Foreign Relations- will meet in the U.S. with the U.S. Secretaries of State and Defense, Mike Pompeo and Jim Mattis, respectively.

This will be the second round of bilateral talks on Diplomacy and Security, initially planned to take place in Beijing by last middle of October, but postponed by the U.S. part.

Previous to his visit to Washington, Yang assured that China is ready to work with the northern country to find a mechanism of cooperation free of frictions, based on respect and mutual benefit.

He made emphasis on the weight of business and the economic aspect of relations, for which he called to find an understanding in a satisfactory resolution of tensions for both sides.

The argument Washington-Beijing is already felt in the lower growth rate prediction, as the International Monetary Fund sees up to a 0.8 percent contraction in theGross Domestic Product if the difference persists.
