USA keeps China on IP priority watch list

At the same time, the Trump administration – if not the president – has publicly cast China as an economic and military threat, an adversary like Russian Federation. In 1979, the two countries formed diplomatic relations. For instance, the US says China should agree not to target USA farmers or agricultural products and “not oppose, challenge or otherwise retaliate” when the USA moves to restrict Chinese investment in the U.S.in sensitive sectors. Washington’s demand for a $200 billion cut from China’s US goods trade surplus doubles Mr. Trump’s previous request for a $100 billion cut. That artificially cheap steel drags down the price internationally, which, in turn, has bankrupted mills in the United States, Canada, Britain, Spain and other countries.

The delegation will brief Mr. Trump and “seek his decision on next steps”, the White House said, adding that the administration had “consensus” for “immediate attention” to change the U.S-China trade and investment relationship.

A delegation of US senior trade officials visited Beijing on May 3 and 4, hoping to ease trade tensions and negotiate a fairer trade relationship.

Navarro advised Trump throughout his 2016 election campaign, during which the candidate routinely threatened to impose a 45% across-the-board tariff on Chinese goods as a way to level the playing field for American workers.

Speaking in Cleveland last Saturday, Trump said the United States is “going to have to rework trade with China”, adding, “don’t let anyone ever tell you that trade deficits are OK”.

Trump’s top economic advisers have returned home from Beijing with little more than glaring proof of how far apart the United States and China stand on trade issues. But she said the “kitchen sink” US demands look unrealistic. But it said “big differences” remain on some matters. U.S. President Donald Trump halted a proposed deal for Singapore-based company Broadcom to acquire the leading American chipmaker, citing national security concerns. Reportedly, Argentina, Brazil and Australia, three other USA trade partners, are close to final deals on voluntary restraints. Mr. Parker further said, “We’d like to see the Trump administration clearly articulate what it wants China to do”.

Moving overseas labor-intensive industries is a win-win for involving countries, but the process also result in lower competitiveness of US local products.

But Americans don’t want to sit idly by like patsies, either, while China violates worldwide trade regulations, cyber-hacks intellectual property, destroys American manufacturing and damages with its predatory and protectionist policies USA farmers trying to export agricultural products. On Saturday, at an event in OH ostensibly to promote his tax cuts, the president spent much time attacking trade with China.

Freeman said the overall trade deficit of the USA was a result of that fact that Americans consume more than they save, which means the country imports more than they produce. Import from the USA alone increased almost five times.

The so-called Special 301 Report on Intellectual Property Rights last Friday calls out China for its “coercive technology transfer practices” and “trade secret theft, rampant online piracy and counterfeit manufacturing”. In 2010, all of China’s commitments made upon entry into the WTO had been fulfilled.

Fair resolution of these disputes with China is crucial to members of the union I lead, the United Steelworkers (USW).

The common misconceptions on the trade deficit with China partly affected the United States policies on China.

The President of China, Xi Jinping, announced in April that China would open its economy to investors and global firms.

To start with, the First China International Import Expo will be held in Shanghai in November this year, which will be a great opportunity for companies across the world to gain access to the huge Chinese market.

China could also make a promise to purchase $50 billion dollars more of U.S. goods annually, which would be a triumph for the Trump administration, but Mr. Scissors does not believe that this will come to pass. -Chinese bilateral negotiations, which likely will end with a list of promised reforms that may never materialize and won’t resolve broader systemic problems bedeviling bilateral commerce.

More than 15 years after China entered the World Trade Organisation in 2001, despite repeated promises from Beijing to open up, foreign institutions still have a limited presence in the financial market and in most cases rely on local partners.

A stronger cooperation between China and the US instead of tension and confrontation, benefits not only the two parties, but also world peace, stability and prosperity.
