Much to be done on China trade: US Trade Rep Lighthizer

Washington's chief trade negotiator on Wednesday said there remained much to do before reaching a new trade agreement with China despite "real progress" so far.

After months of negotiating with Beijing, "now we are making real progress," US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said in congressional testimony.

However, "Much still needs to be done both before an agreement is reached, and more importantly after it is reached if one is reached."
