A. Snapshot of Trade Negotiation Between The US & China • US invoked 301 Investigation against China in Aug, 2017. • US declared to increase import duties many times against China products during Feb – Sept 2018 with China to response with retaliation against the US products during March - August 2018. • Both countries representatives were holding talks 4 times during the period without noticeable progress until the meeting of the top men of both countries in Dec 2018 in Argentina. • Trade war atmosphere was then cooled down. Additional 3 round table meetings between the 2 countries representatives were held with positive feedback and progress. • The US withheld further increase of import duties against China products as from March 2019 and China reciprocated by buying about 13 mln tons of US soybean, 300K US Corn & pork during Dec 2018 – March 2019. • Talk still underway with expected some sort of agreement between the US and China but is unlikely to end the trade disputes.

C 6. US & China want Agreement out of Different Needs • From the economic point of view, China needs to reach the trade agreement with the US to minimize negative impact over the economy • Nevertheless, it does not imply China will or can accept all the requests or demand from the America, particularly those sectors relating to the “China Made 2025 Projects” • Despite of less negative economic impact to the US, the cost to Mr. Trump cannot be neglected, particularly after the failure of meeting with Mr. Kim in Vietnam & votes for Presidency Election. • The areas of negotiation are very complicated and far beyond the meaning on papers but expect the agreement can be reached in some ways. Nevertheless, it is not a clear cut and one-shot arrangement. It needs on-going discussion and dialogue to narrow the divergence of requests and targets of both countries.
