The escalating trade war has raised important concerns for the U.S. and China to negotiate including jobs, deficit, and growth. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce says on its website “Trade Works. Tariffs Don’t.”

How much debt does China have, and could it cause a financial crisis? Can it cut down on debt without sacrificing its targets for economic growth?

Tariffs and other forms of protectionism diminish opportunities, while free trade provides them to all.

Many Americans have been told that international trade - and more specifically, China’s trade relationship with the United States - is bad for workers and hurts US growth. What is the real picture?

There are 68,000 American companies that manufacture, distribute and sell goods in China. It challenges the belief that the Chinese market is closed to the U.S.

Trade is essential to the success of America and the American people. It represents about a third of U.S. GDP, and has helped build the U.S. economy into the undisputed #1. Tariffs are bad news for everyone.

There are dangerous signs from the U.S. to undermine the “One China” policy, says He Yafei. For the past 40 years, the two countries have managed the Taiwan issue well, but things are changing.

He Yafei argues that it is still true that China and the U.S. have more common grounds than differences. China continues to desire for a secure and stable world order.

Given the U.S. has identified China as a main rivalry, the two nations can still cooperate. But it is unrealistic to expect China to make concessions and “take a hit.”

The relationship with the U.S. has been an important factor for China’s success in the last 40 years in its reform and opening-up effort to integrate into the global system.
