China replaces top WTO negotiator Li Chenggang with Li Yongjie amid U.S.-China trade tensions ahead of a Trump-Xi summit.
China has replaced Li Chenggang, its top trade negotiator at the WTO, in a leadership shift announced amid rising U.S.-China tensions.
The move, part of broader diplomatic appointments by President Xi Jinping, follows controversial remarks by Li during a Washington visit, including demands for high-level meetings and confrontational statements criticized by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
Li, who previously served as assistant minister of commerce, was succeeded by Li Yongjie, who assumed the role in September.
No official reason was given for the change, which reflects evolving personnel strategies in China’s global trade representation.
