Economics, Trade, and Finance in U.S.-China Relations
|
One result of globalization is that trade and business engagement between the United States and China has risen to a new level, creating an economic interdependence not seen before. China's growing economic prowess is viewed negatively by some in the United States and American companies continue to express frustration over doing business with China. Despite improving political relations between the two countries, U.S.-China relations have entered a new phase in which issues of economics and trade -- traditionally considered among the most positive and beneficial aspects of the relationship -- have increasingly become a source of friction.
In response to these trends, the Freeman Chair is launching a project initiative to assess the difficult economic and trade issues confronting U.S. China relations:
- The politics of U.S. China economic and trade relations
- U.S.-China interaction on the global economic stage
- Corporate governance and other issues of concern in China
In 2003, the Freeman Chair hosted e-forums featuring prominent experts on U.S.-China economic and trade issues for interested specialists in the United States and around the globe:
- 25 November 2003, E-Forum: "Imbalance and Other Issues Concerning Bilateral Economic Relations" by Pieter Bottelier
- 15 December 2003, E-Forum: "A Matter of Business" by Robert Kapp
On January 13, 2004 the Freeman Chair held a conference: “Partners or Competitors?: Economics, Trade and Finance in U.S.-China Relations.” The conference featured an array of prominent experts who assessed the difficult economic and trade issues confronting U.S. China relations. The Freeman Chair and the Hills Program on Governance in co-sponsorship with the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations & Transparency International held a conference on March 15, 2005 on “Governance Challenges in China.” Tuesday, March 15, 2005. The Freeman Chair also continues to monitor China’s economic development and the behind-the-scenes political maneuverings that influence economic policy decision making through its Freeman Briefing and Freeman Briefing Special Editions. Drawing largely from Chinese-language sources, these publications offer analysis of major economic, financial and industry-related developments in China of interest to the international business community. |
