Us China Trade Disputes or Organizing

Us-China Trade Disputes: Rising Tide, Rising Stakes

Author: Gary Clyde Hufbauer

Since its accession to the World Trade Organization, China has become the United States' third-largest trading partner and the sixth-largest market for US exports. Between 2000 and 2005, US imports from China rose from $100 billion to $243 billion, while US exports to China climbed from $16 billion to $42 billion. As China continues its rise as a great economic power, the US Congress and administration wrestle over the proper tactics and strategies to shape US-China economic relations. What major disputes - ongoing and looming on the horizon - will shape US-China relations? What can be done to resolve or at least manage them? This book suggests policies for both sides.
