Loading ...Top China Expert Has Doubts Over Trade Deal As Tensions Are “Getting Worse”
The South China Morning Post (SCMP) is reporting that Jia Qingguo, a top foreign policy expert in China and professor of international studies at Peking University, said the “phase one” trade deal with the U.S. and China wouldn’t lead to “phase two” trade deal because “excessive” demands by Washington have left Chinese officials feeling “useless” to engage.
“Despite the recent announcement that we are going to have the first phase agreement, [the] relationship between China and the U.S. is still in deep trouble and is heading south rather than north. It is getting worse,” the SCMP cited Jia at the Regional Outlook Forum 2020 hosted by the ISEAS Yusof Ishak Institute in Singapore on Thursday.
