By then, the feel-good factor will have worn off, replaced by realpolitik.
Vice-Premier Liu He will lead China’s delegation on October 10 and across the table will be the United States team, spearheaded by Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.

A major breakthrough appears unlikely although optimism and pessimism seesaw depending on what day it is.
