Concession #1: China agreed to reduce tariffs by 115%, bringing them down to just 10%.

This matches the exact reduction the US offered, creating parity for the first time in this trade battle.

Concession #2: China removed ALL counter-measures.

Beyond tariffs, China had imposed severe non-tariff barriers.

Officials said these effectively created a trade embargo against US goods.

They've now agreed to remove ALL of these barriers. pic.twitter.com/ti8RTeKAqG

Concession #3 is perhaps the most surprising.

China sent their deputy minister for public safety to address the fentanyl crisis.

US officials called this an "upside surprise" - completely unexpected at a trade meeting. pic.twitter.com/IZjOV4ZJUm
