S5 Ep43: Director's Cut: Evolution of US-China relations amid trade-tariff conflict

Bruegel director Guntram Wolff and Bruegel fellow Uri
Dadush welcome William Alan Reinsch, senior adviser and Scholl
chair in international business at the Center for Strategic and
International Studies, for a discussion of how China-US relations
are developing in the context of unfolding trade war.


With President Trump increasing tariffs on the US' imports from
China and China retaliating in kind, the trade dispute between
the two countries is escalating quickly.


Here the discussants elaborate on the disruption caused by trade
tariffs, the likelihood of China acquiescing to US demands with
regard to economic reform, and where the EU might figure in the
stand-off. 


Guntram Wolff introduces this Director's Cut of 'The Sound of
Economics', welcoming Bruegel fellow Uri Dadush as well as
William Alan Reinsch, senior adviser and Scholl chair in
international business at the Center for Strategic and
International Studies.

escalating trade dispute between the US and China. We also

options amid the China-US trade turmoil.
