Trump’s idiosyncratic “art of the deal” apparently means putting extreme pressure on your negotiating partner to force them to surrender — but the US approach is based on faulty Trumpian economic assumptions and a misread of China’s growth history, and will only backfire.

American and European businesses and academics should work with China, and encourage and help China in further reform and opening up. FDI inflows into China hit an all-time high at $130.1 billion in 2017, ranking 2nd in the world only after those in the US, a fact that explains the fundamentals of China’s open door policy. FDI from the US was $3.13 billion, down 18.2% from the previous year; and that from the EU 28 was $8.79 billion, down 9.0%. However, 2016 saw exceptionally high growth. If the two years 2016 and 2017 are put together, FDI inflows from the US and EU still grew by 20.8% and 23.6% respectively. Reports from the EU Chamber of Commerce in China, AmCham, and USCBC all show that most of their members are making money in China and China remains one of the top three destinations for their investment.
