Revised negative list under discussion
A revised negative list for a Bilateral Investment Treaty is being discussed by Chinese and US negotiating teams in Washington.
However, the agreement looks unlikely to be concluded during the remaining seven months of the Obama administration.
Jack Lew, US secretary of the treasury, said on Thursday that a sufficiently ambitious negative list - where only exceptions to the treaty are specified - from China could open a pathway to additional progress before the end of the year.
