Phase one of a US-China trade agreement, President Donald Trump signed a cooling of trade war Wednesday marks the whisked around on world markets and supply chains angry. On paper, the deal of the intellectual property (IP) protection will improve, it is forced technology transfer and increased market access for key sectors of the Chinese economy, such as financial services and agriculture. An application is available to the United States once again allows you to enter rates if Americans think of China, its obligations has welched. In return, the administration will drop Trump or many of the duties on Chinese goods imported to reduce the United States imposed. It was not included in the otherwise sensitive aspects of the US-China dispute similar subsidies to the state-owned China shop “phase one.” They may never faced anything get so adamant each side of the position. This makes it very likely that the two countries return to trade tensions and the new rates, experts say. “I expect that this agreement will be quite temporary,” says James H. Nolt, senior fellow specializing in Asia at the World Policy Institute in New York. “They kind of plastered on some disagreements and promises that can not be kept.” What’s “phase one” trade agreement? Like most of trade agreements “a phase” has a bit ‘of something tout for both parties. China commits $200 billion American goods over the next two years to buy $50 billion in energy, $40 billion in agriculture, said $35 billion to 40 billion in the services sector and $75 billion in manufactured products, sources on both sides of the South China Morning post. Washington has already demolished for additional charges, which were due to come into force on December 15, and halve a levy of 15% on $120 billion worth of Chinese goods. However, they remain 25% of tariffs on $250 billion worth of Chinese goods on the spot. Monday ‘evening, the United States and China from a list of currency manipulators in preparation for the deal on. The implementing measure is considered especially important for Washington, because China has not kept its promises or similar structural slowly walked many times before, even after his World Trade Organization entry in 2001 with a commitment to open its economy over a five-year timeframe. But Xu Bin, Professor of Economics and Finance at the China Europe International Business School in Shanghai believes Beijing intends to keep to his side of his contract with Trump especially since the reforms in trade agreements are not the most painful on the table and, in the long run , China will actually benefit. “I think China holds [the agreement], but China will do so to the extent that it benefits,” says Xu. “If we look at the relative needs of these two countries, in economic terms, I think needs. China the US market more” Some provisions are likely to benefit both parties. For example, the protection of intellectual property has long been a priority for the US entrepreneurs, but China is no longer a laggard technology, and in fact, strengthening IP protection as companies begin to strategic industries dominate, as 5G and artificial intelligence be helped. The same goes for new access to the market in the US financial services. Although some national companies that lose in the short run, economists have long argued that China could benefit as a whole from Western companies bank account can offer, other financial services (even if your credit is largely outdated payment due for advanced mobile applications) and insurance. What’s more, it bought more $40 billion of agricultural imports for two years actually less than $24 billion in China annually before the start of trade dispute. What Trump and Xi get from the deal? In the end it could be for Trump is not touting matter much that has already been in the business his reelection campaign. About 200 people have reportedly signed for signing in the East Room of the White House, where Trump invited the document next to Chinese Vice Premier Liu He, who led the negotiating team in Beijing. Chinese President Xi Jinping are events of a campaign of fear, but he is not immune to political pressure. Among the growth in the low three decades, international criticism of the United Nations on human rights violations in the troubled Xinjiang province, popular revolt in Hong Kong and Taiwan voters clearly his step to reunification in the refusal last weekend’s elections, Xi clear one compensation would appreciate festering crisis its in-tray. academic criticism of his handling of the dispute with China and elitist circles continued to rumble, although the apparatus of government censorship has kept largely removed the company from the press and media. Key to Xi will ensure the economy of the country can be healthier. Despite the improvement in the monthly trade figures released on Tuesday, “the trading history for the whole year is pretty bad,” Nick Marro, lead to world trade at the Economist Intelligence Unit wrote in a briefing note. “The Chinese are not the bad news of a trade war going on wants the public and investor confidence hang on,” says Nolt. But, this is not the end of trade wars few believe that we have seen swing the end of the tariffs as a club policy. While Trump used import taxes or their threat against countries from India and South Korea to Canada and Mexico, it was not only to launch its new global action. Japan and South Korea to be embroiled in their trade disputes on historical abuses during the Tokyo colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula recently. After Nolt, there is the problem of global business behind some coalescence private monopolies that Google, Facebook, Amazon and even large pharmaceutical companies to win big, but do little to create the salary increase or jobs because of that they are first of all they offer, rather than using the production and trade of goods through the IP services. “Part of it is that the business system itself has changed and adapted the trading system does not take into account,” says Nolt. “The popular benefits of the old trading system are gone.” But rather than the systemic causes of these targeting problems, populists often easy targets chosen, whether they are immigrants “jobs” or steal Chinese factories orders take off American ones. “Then you will see more trade protectionism used as a political tool,” says Xu. And so, while a ceasefire in the war of business suits when both parties will not be long before that changes the political calculus. The United States continues to call for the reform of China’s economy, although many of Beijing’s subsidy offers companies from Amazon US dominated was offered, for example, it was $3 billion in tax breaks and other incentives offered to New York before the deal collapsed to move. It ‘not just the US domestic enterprises: In 2017, Foxconn $4 billion in state and local tax incentives to build a manufacturing plant in Wisconsin that employ 13,000 people, the Trump waved aside the “one of the best offers . ” the fact that the cost taxpayers $346,000 per job was, and the mothballed factory remnants, Foxconn is a Taiwanese company with 90% of employees in China. It is safe when Trump request that subsidies the Chinese government stop the victim, Beijing might think deserves reciprocity, and that the US stop providing billions of dollars in tax breaks for American companies should have in, and attract such agreement incentives away with Chinese investors established as Foxconn. Until recently, the largest private employer of Foxconn China with more than one million employees. “China is particularly sensitive, given its history with the Western powers in unequal treaties forced [in the 19th and early 20th century],” says Nolt. Of course, Trump stepped in subsidies to American farmers made in the amount of $28 billion euro (used more controversial than double the $Obama, help the automotive industry 12 billion US off the hook.) And still other aspects unequal of trade relations as the demand for American companies, a partnership with a Chinese company in the auto industry, a major source of forced technology transfer. But that is already changing: EUR carmaker Tesla have just built a new plant in Shanghai, not with a Chinese company, a partnership, for example. (Telsa also receives Chinese tax breaks with a grant of $3,560 from the government for each vehicle produced). And thus sentenced to negotiations on bankruptcy, probably not long before Trump has reached for new rates. When the radical populism of the world takes, other nations also likely should be taken similar measures. “This is something that all countries have to face,” says Xu, professor at Shanghai. “As the pain and relieve disadvantage these people who not only suffer from globalization, but also the developed world more technological.”
