As China-U.S. trade talks wrapped up in Stockholm this week, analysts weighed in on the tariff negotiations. Qian Jun, the executive dean of Fudan University's International School of Finance, says China's strategic approach to talks sits alongside boosting domestic demand. For his part, Michele Geraci, the former Italian Undersecretary for Economic Development, points out that Chinese exports to the U.S. have proven to be far more irreplaceable. Though market diversification helps, Geraci says the U.S. needs China as China needs the U.S. Meanwhile, East China Normal University's Professor Josef Gregory Mahoney says China's structural restructuring has broken through U.S. containment efforts, while America remains trapped in a systemic perception gap.
