You'll find the definition of the phrase 'on the xx front' here:
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/
front = a particular area of activity:
How are things on the work front? (= Is the situation at work satisfactory?)
She's very creative on the design front (= she is very good at design).
In your example, the writer is using this phrase to signal a change of topic and to turn the readers' attention towards the area of US/China trade relations.

The word 'front' doesnt make sense with this sentence. It sounds like its supposed to be "China trade 'from' this week."
