The Trump Administration with his handpicked team of staff has made the U.S. China Policy even more uncertain than the Obama Administration. This is partly due to the new style of Presidency Mr. Donald Trump has brought to the White House and partly due to the rapid rise in economic power China has exhibited with her net buying power reaching the number one position in the world. China maintains a trade surplus with nearly all her trading partners in the world except a handful of countries. The U.S. has a trade deficit in goods with China over $300 Billion annually since 2012. The US-China relation was somewhat warm in 2017 with a Trump-Xi summit at Mar-a-Lago, Florida in March and Trump's State visit to China in November plus China's agreeing to buy more US goods. But in 2018, the Trump Administration initiated a tariff war starting with a 'global safeguard tariff' in February, placing 30% tariff on solar panels and 20% on washing machines, then 25% tariff on all steel imports and 10% on all aluminum imports in March. From then on to 2019, China reciprocated and the U.S. escalated threatening to apply tariffs to thousands of items up to US$200 Billion in value, making trade negotiations lingering on. The US-China conflict is not limited in trade as evidenced by other events such as U.S. applying sanctions to Chinese technology corporations, examples like Huawei and ZTE, and accusing China unfairly acquiring technologies to upgrade her manufacturing capability which China touted as China Manufacturer 2025. The author has been studying the US-China relations from a historical perspective and closely monitoring current events concerning the two countries through the mainstream media as well as the organic views expressed in Internet blogs and news circulations. This book is his fifth publications in the book series of Mainstream and Organic Views focusing on US-China issues from trade to other conflicts.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53352958361873,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53352958525713,"sku":"NIN9780977159468","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"changing-giants-the-u-s-and-china-book-ifay-f-chang-9780977159451","title":"Changing Giants The U.S. and China","description":"The U.S. and China are the world's two largest countries undergoing rapid changes. If you follow the media, you will find that the US-China relation yoyos from worse to better and better to worse in the past few years while each is changing politically and economically. The recent change in US-China relation for the worse is worrisome to the entire world. The already complex relationship between the two giants is further compounded by the fierce Presidential election in 2016 resulting in a new US administration which prefers to play Trump cards in a no-trump game (bridge jargon). The US new Administration seems to disregard old game rules, conventional suits and existing contracts creating a great uncertainty in her China policy which is troubling and challenging China and bewildering the US allies. China, on the other hand, is gearing up more efforts interjecting her into global affairs while trying to maintain her healthy economic growth and keeping the U.S. at arm's length. Will the two giants change for the better or worse is the author's quest for answer in his writings. Changing Giants - The U.S. and China is Dr. Chang's third book following Understanding the US and China (2015) and US-China Relations (2014) to track the development of the U.S. and China and monitor their changing relationship. In this book, Dr, Chang makes close examination on the current events happening between the two nations and interprets their consequences all in light of the unique historical background of each nation. Through the pages of this book, the author hopes that better understanding of the past can lead people to influence the future. The author hopes that the two changing giants will develop a collaborative relationship for the sake of the world peace and prosperity.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53376949190929,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53376949289233,"sku":"NIN9780977159451","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780977159451.jpg?v=1775313139"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-ch\/collections\/autor-buecher-von-ifay-f-chang.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
