Zhao Minghao: Great importance attached to phase one China-U.S. trade deal
Simultaneous tariffs cancellation on each other's goods is an important condition for China and the U.S. to reach a "phase one" trade deal, said Gao Feng, spokesperson for China's Ministry of Commerce at a press conference held on November 7. The phase one trade deal is an important step towards the unwinding of a trade war that has inflicted significant damages to the interests of both sides. As Republican Senator David Perdue of Georgia said, the amount of trade in the phase one deal is modest, but it can prevent the two countries from slipping into a "Cold War."...

Zhao Minghao: Pence Speech Sent Confusing Signals
As China and the United States continued phase one of their consultations aiming for a trade deal, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence delivered a speech at the Wilson Center on China policy in which he said the U.S. is seeking “a fundamental restructuring of our relationship with China.” About a year ago, his speech on the same topic at the Hudson Institute was widely seen as a declaration of a new U.S. cold war with China....

Zhao Minghao: Diplomatic Dance Step May Help Ease China-US Tension
The vice ministerial-level trade talks between China and the United States have concluded in Washington, making necessary preparations for the high-level talks to be held in the coming weeks. A statement by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative described the talks as “productive,” but concerns are growing about the prospects of the larger trade negotiations. Before the start of the talks, U.S. officials were said to have discussed the possibility of reaching an interim trade deal with China. ...

Zhao Minghao: No need to overreact as Quad ups gear
The Quadrilateral Security Dialogue - known as Quad - between the US, Japan, India and Australia was held Thursday on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly at the foreign minister's level. Since its revival in November 2017, the Quad had met only at the joint-secretary level. This first foreign-minister-level meeting may suggest that the framework is upgrading. Speculation is swirling on whether it would move toward a NATO-like group in Asia....

Zhao Minghao: Pacific island countries caught in America's China policy
Two island countries in the Pacific-the Solomon Islands and Kiribati- recently severed diplomatic ties with Taiwan. Such moves have been opposed by the U.S. and it even sent a navy ship to sail through the Taiwan Strait to advocate for "free navigation". But Washington's interference on the sovereign states' decisions makes no sense. Manasseh Sogavare, the Prime Minister of the Solomon Islands, said that the U.S. threatened to cut aid if the Solomon Islands decided to cut ties with Taiwan....

Zhao Minghao: Amid festering trade war, frustration mounts inside US
While cranking up the trade war with China, US President Donald Trump's administration is also reinforcing efforts to explain its detrimental effects. In a string of tweets in late August, the president refuted the view that his trade policies were hurting the US economy saying "The Economy is doing GREAT, with tremendous upside potential." He also claimed that "The farmers are going to be so happy when they see what we are doing for Ethanol," and blamed "bad management" instead of the tariffs for the "badly run and weak companies." On August 23, Trump ordered "great American companies" to "immediately start looking for an alternative to China."v...

Zhao Minghao: Is a New Cold War Inevitable? Chinese Perspectives on US–China Strategic Competition
In recent years, Chinese scholars and policy elites have discussed the ever intensifying strategic competition between the United States and China and its multifaceted implications for Chinese foreign policy. Some even worry about the possibility of a new Cold War between the United States and China. This article aims to offer an analysis of Chinese perspectives on US–China strategic competition. In the view of most Chinese observers, US–China strategic competition is inevitable because China is closing the national power gap between itself and the United States, while the latter resolutely upholds its global primacy. Other factors, including ideological disagreements, may fuel the major power competition that has extended to most aspects of US–China relations. Chinese observers believe that economic and technological rivalry between the United States and China has heightened and that the Western Pacific is the focal point of US–China strategic competition. Meanwhile, certain Chinese s...

Zhao Minghao: Trump administration's 'ostrich mentality' towards the trade war
the White House's chaotic decision-making process is out in the open. The U.S., China and the entire world economy have to pay a huge price for it. The Trump administration needs to own its mistakes and return to the negotiation table with sincerity as soon as possible. This is the only right path to go down....
