The American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai says it opposes Trump's move to impose tariffs on made-in-China goods. AmCham Shanghai represents more than 18-hundred US firms, including multinational giants like Coca-Cola and Fed-Ex. Our reporter Han Peng had a chance to sit down with the chamber's president about this.
HAN PENG SHANGHAI "A few months ago, the world still thought it would be too consequential for the two economic superpowers to really start a trade war, but now the two countries are getting real in levying the tariffs. What do you think is happening?"
HAN PENG SHANGHAI "Some people say the trade war between China and the US is a Thucydides trap between a rising and a resident power. But the US is targeting many other trade partners including Canada and Europe. What do you think Trump is trying to do?"
