Next Round of US-China Trade Talks to be Toughest Yet


WASHINGTON, March 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- China's fast-paced economic rise and flouting of globally accepted market rules -- along with the growing economic fallout from COVID-19 -- has put the US-China Phase II negotiations near the top of the critical issues facing the US postelection.

As detailed in a new report by the Committee for Economic Development of The Conference Board (CED), while the first phase of the US-China trade deal has eased tension, it also set the stage for discussions on the most contentious economic issues. Points of dispute include forced technology transfers, cyber theft of intellectual property (IP), industrial policies, state subsidies, and new technology, according to The China Trade Challenge: Phase II.

"The Phase II negotiations will encompass critical challenges to both US national security and economic policies," said Lori Esposito Murray, President of CED.  "Policymakers and trade officials will need to leverage all levers of US power to maintain the benefits of free and fair market competition, uphold the values that have stood the free-world community in good stead since World War II, and convince the Chinese that they have a stake in this system that propelled their advancement and growth."

The new CED brief issued these recommendations for policymakers as they prepare for the second round of negotiations:
