TREE NEWS update: Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng will lead a delegation to the United States for economic and trade consultations from September 19 to 23, China’s Commerce Ministry said. The announcement came as China’s loan prime rate stayed unchanged for a 16th straight month, and Warren Buffett formally stepped down as Berkshire Hathaway chairman, completing the handover of the company’s top governance roles after ceding the CEO post earlier this year.

The timing links Beijing's trade outreach with a steady monetary stance: holding the loan prime rate for a 16th month signals policy caution rather than a pre-talks stimulus gesture. For markets, the read is about tone as much as outcomes — whether these consultations produce durable engagement or remain a one-off round is the open question. Buffett's formal exit is a separate governance milestone, and whether Berkshire's post-handover posture shifts is worth watching on its own.
