China and the United States are in consultations on a framework arrangement for reciprocal tariff reductions covering products worth $30 billion from each side, with both countries working to bring the tariff cuts into effect at an early date, the Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday.

商务部周四表示，中美双方正在磋商一项相互减让关税的框架安排，涉及双方各 300 亿美元规模的产品，两国正努力推动关税减免尽早落地。

Speaking at a weekly news conference in Beijing, Huang Ling, the ministry's spokeswoman, said that Chinese and US economic and trade teams are earnestly implementing the consensus reached by the two heads of state at their meeting in May in Beijing.

商务部发言人黄玲在北京举行的例行新闻发布会上表示，中美经贸团队正在认真落实两国元首 5 月在北京会晤达成的共识。

Experts said that the proposed tariff reductions are expected to cover products of mutual interest, with agricultural goods and industrial products among those under consideration.

专家表示，拟议中的关税减免预计将覆盖双方共同关注的产品，农产品和工业产品都在考虑范围内。

Continued dialogue and consultation can help manage differences, reduce trade frictions and work toward mutually beneficial outcomes, they said.

专家称，持续对话磋商有助于管控分歧、减少贸易摩擦，争取实现互利共赢的结果。

Fu Suixin, an associate researcher at the Institute of American Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that the recent interactions between China and the US, along with the establishment of bilateral trade and investment councils, have been significant in helping to stabilize relations and maintain channels of communication.

中国社会科学院美国研究所副研究员表示，中美近期的互动，以及双边贸易投资委员会的设立，对稳定两国关系、保持沟通渠道畅通具有重要意义。

"This does not mean the two sides have resolved their deep-seated differences over trade, technology and other issues," said Fu.

“这并不意味着双方已经解决了在贸易、技术等领域根深蒂固的分歧，” 傅说。
