The new execution plan applies to all companies that use Google advertising.

The letter stated that China has met the “important benchmarks and commitments” in the first phase of the 2020 trade agreement, including opening the market to US financial institutions and reducing some of the US regulatory obstacles to China’s agricultural exports.
