China and the US wrapped up their sixth round of trade talks in Paris on Monday, with the agenda ranging from a possible extension of bilateral tariff and non-tariff measures as well as bilateral investment.

“China and the US conducted deep, frank and constructive consultations,” Chinese vice commerce minister Li Chenggang said.

Both sides agreed to “continue to maintain the stability of tariffs” and discussed the possibility of establishing a mechanism for promoting bilateral investment, said Li, one of the lead negotiators in the two days of talks.

The two sides achieved some preliminary consensus on some of the subjects and would continue dialogue.

He said China noted that the United States had introduced “quite a few” restrictive measures against China on the trade and economy front.

Beijing also expressed opposition to the Section 301 investigations announced by the Office of the US Trade Representative last week.
