Join us for an insightful discussion on the ongoing US-China trade war with Yukon Huang, senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment and former World Bank Country Director for China. As the trade war rages on, both economies are feeling the strain. China, heavily reliant on exports, sends nearly 20% of its goods to the US, while American industries dependent on imports face rising costs and supply chain disruptions. The Trump administration's bet on protectionism and China's potential retaliation have far-reaching consequences.

If the trade war persists, bigger economic challenges loom. Higher tariffs could hinder China's ability to find new trading partners, impacting South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore, which are deeply connected to China’s economy. Even the UK is experiencing losses, leading to increased prices on automobiles sold in China. What does the future hold for this trade war, and what are its long-term effects? Is it merely about trade and technological dominance, or is it a greater power struggle for economic and strategic supremacy?

Join Yukon Huang as he delves into the trade war's implications for both nations, examining economic growth, global supply chains, and the broader geopolitical landscape. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights into one of the most critical issues affecting global economics today.
