Dealmakers always know when to cut their losses. And so it is with the self-proclaimed greatest dealmaker of them all: US President Donald Trump. Having promised a Grand Deal with China, the 13th round of bilateral trade negotiations ended on October 11 with barely a whimper, yielding a watered-down partial agreement: the “phase one” accord.

Chinese and U.S. economies are highly complementary, and cooperation between them has an important bearing on the efficacy of global governance and the sustainability of global economic growth. Yet the ongoing trade war continues to do harm to both economies and to erode trust between the two nations.

This is no ordinary time in US-China relations. While President Trump lacks consistency, predictability, factuality on many areas in the US-China relationship, there is still a major lack of reciprocity in the US-China trade relationship. Even so, there still exists a viable pathway to a US-China relationship that is mutually beneficial and politically sustainable.

The approach to the current China-US disputes by the US administration is counterproductive. The US must not let falsehoods being spread about China interfere with the creation of productive strategies that would better solve these economic issues.

The “art” of many small deals could yield results in the US-China economic relationship, which is so complex that it defies a one-size-fits-all solution.

At their Osaka meeting, Trump and Xi agreed to restart trade talks and work to improve US-China ties. Trump also stated he would add no additional tariffs to Chinese goods. The meeting demonstrates the continued importance of dispute management between the two economic powerhouses.
