U.S.-China Relations in Trump's First Year: A Conversation with Chen Dingding

In the lead up to his January 20th inauguration, Donald Trump signaled that he would take a tough stance toward China, creating anxieties in Beijing. Although the Trump administrationâ??s China policy is not yet clear, pledges to impose tariffs on Chinese goods and label China a currency manipulator have not been implemented yet, and President Trump now says he will honor the â??one Chinaâ? policy. Concerned over the possible deterioration of US-China relations, Beijing has responded cautiously to Trumpâ??s hardline rhetoric, in the hope that his administration will recognize that it needs good relations with China. In this episode, we sit down with Chen Dingding for part two of our series discussing US-China relations in the first year of the Trump Administration.
