Fremtidens handel: Historisk møde mellem Kina og USA i London

baggrund af handelskonflikterne

Handelskonflikten mellem USA og Kina, som har foregået siden marts 2018, blev oprindeligt udløst af gensidige straffetag. The US goals included the modification of the Chinese state capitalist economic and industrial policy as well as the reduction in trade balance deficit, which was $ 375 billion in 2017. China reacted to the US tariffs, which affected imports worth around $ 370 billion, with its own tariffs and WTO procedures, which led to a tightening of the tensions.

The "Phase One Trade Agreement", which was signed on January 15, 2020, provided for China to buy US products worth $ 200 billion within two years and at the same time ensure better protective measures for intellectual property and the absence of forced technology transfer. Imidlertid forblev de amerikanske toldsatser på import til en værdi af 250 milliarder dollars, mens der ikke har været nogen væsentlige diskussioner om en "fase to -aftale".
