This year's China-U.S Strategic and Economic Dialogue has come to an end.

Headway is said to have been made on a number of fronts.

On the economic track, the two sides say they dealt with upward of 90 different issues, covering areas such as macro-economic policies and finance.

The two sides have also agreed to start working on a Negative List in their attempt to creat a bilateral investment treaty.

The investment treaty talks began in 2008.

On the strategic side, both sides say they had frank discussions when it came to issues such as Cyber Security and the Korean Peninsula.
