What was reported
China is willing to expand U.S. farm purchases contingent on a $30 billion tariff-reduction deal being implemented.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun did not confirm if China would wait on tariffs before starting the $17 billion commitment.
The dialogue reflects ongoing trade negotiations between the U.S. and China.
