China is "evaluating" an offer from the U.S. to hold talks on tariffs,
according to a Friday statement from the Chinese Commerce Ministry.
This shift in tone could leave the door open for the worlds two
largest economies to deescalate the trade war that has left global
markets in turmoil.
"The U.S. has recently taken the initiative on many occasions to
convey information to China through relevant parties, saying it hopes
to talk with China," the ministry said in a statement, according to a
Reuters translation. The ministry also said that Beijing was
"evaluating this."
However, while Beijing appears to be open to negotiations, the Chinese
Commerce Ministry warned that it would not be forced into making a bad
deal. According to the Reuters translation, the ministry said that
"attempting to use talks as a pretext to engage in coercion and
extortion would not work."

That's China-speak for "they are very interested".
