The Future of U.S.-China Economic Relations

This panel addresses the challenges and opportunities for economic relations between the U.S., the world's biggest economy and the China, the fastest developing country. Economic cooperation is undoubtedly one of the most critical factors in the continued improvement of U.S.-China relations as a whole. On the one hand, the trade volume between the two countries continues to grow. At the same time, there are still many points of friction overshadowing the trade relationship between the U.S. and China. Will the barrier on high-tech products imposed by the U.S. government exacerbates the trade deficit against China? How can both countries reach a consensus on China's yuan policy? The speakers on this panel will discuss these salient issues from multiple perspectives, highlighting potential ways of ensuring the continued cooperation between these two trade partners.
