This photo was taken in an alley in the old city of Beijing, July 05, 2018. The owner of a grocery store is standing by the red wall that symbolizes the walls of the Forbidden City. She is optimistic about the second Sino-US trade negotiation. The small table on her left is stacked with products from the American Beverage Company, and the whiteboard on the right has an advertisement for "Ice Drink" written in Chinese characters.
