Trump-Xi Summit Delayed, USG Rebuilding Leverage, and House Sounds China Alarm in Robotics, Pharma

President Donald Trump on Tuesday confirmed that his state visit to China, originally scheduled for the end of March, would be pushed back by “five to six weeks.” China has not confirmed a new timeframe and said it is in communication with the United States on the visit.

At first glance, it would appear that this policy is a reaction to the slowdown in China’s economy. However, in actuality, this recent initiative is connected to a longer-term effort, formulated in 2012, which aims to gradually open up Chinese markets to foreign direct investment (FDI) and to more closely conform with international standards. Understanding the historical background of this policy is important, as it can shed light on the Chinese Government’s long-term objectives and the potential ramifications of the recent legislation.
