On Tuesday, April 22, WITA and the Asia Society Policy Institute hosted a discussion panel “Phase 2, The Art of the Deal with China”.
Even as the Trump Administration imposes tariff hikes on Chinese imports, the prospect of negotiating a new trade agreement, a so-called Phase Two deal, remains on the table. But how realistic is this possibility? What key elements would the United States need to include to make such a deal meaningful? What concessions would China demand in return? And what lessons can we draw from the Phase One negotiations and its implementation to guide this effort?
