In October 2019, a group of 37 of the world’s most prominent Chinese, American and international economists and legal scholars, including five Nobel Laureates—known as the US-China Trade Policy Working Group—proposed a joint statement, US-China Trade Relations – A Way Forward, to resolve the current trade conflict between the United States and China. This joint statement was recognised by the Washington Post as one of the best works on political economy in 2019. The statement mainly explores an intermediate approach between “deep integration” and “decoupling” of the two great nations.
While the US and China signed ‘Phase One’ of a trade deal pact in January 2020, many chapters of the deal had been addressed in the joint statement. The European Chamber is delighted to invite one of the three co-conveners of the joint statement, Professor Yang YAO, Cheung-Kong Scholar and Boya Chair Professor and Dean at the National School of Development, Peking University, to share his views on the ongoing US-China trade relation.
