US seeks specific action from China on tariffs - Reuters

According to reporting by Reuters, US officials within the Trump administration are seeking specific actions from the Chinese in the ongoing tariff negotiations. 

Key quotes (Reuters):

"Top Trump administration officials are asking China to cut tariffs on imported cars, allow foreign majority ownership of financial services firms and buy more U.S.-made semiconductors in negotiations to avoid U.S. tariffs and a potential trade war."

"The Wall Street Journal first reported the demands from U.S. officials, saying that they came in a letter sent to Beijing last week."

"Chinese Premier Li Keqiang earlier on Monday said that China and the United States should maintain negotiations and repeated pledges to ease access for American businesses to China’s markets."

"Li told a conference that included global chief executives that China would treat foreign and domestic firms equally, would not force foreign firms to transfer technology and would strengthen intellectual property rights, repeating promises that have failed to placate Washington."

"China has offered to buy more U.S. semiconductors by diverting some purchases from South Korea and Taiwan, the Financial Times reported, citing people briefed on the negotiations."
