WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. and Chinese officials will meet on Thursday at the U.S. Treasury for staff-level technical talks on trade and economic issues that will not cover the recent deal for China to transfer TikTok's U.S. operations to U.S. control, a source familiar with the discussions said.

The talks also will not cover the next round of high-level trade talks to be held between Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng ahead of a November 10 expiration of the two countries' tariff-reducing trade truce, the source said.

Instead, the talks on Thursday will focus on technical details related to trade issues already discussed in previous rounds of talks, said the source, who requested anonymity due to not being authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
