U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai recently announced the results of the Biden Administration strategic review of the US-China trade relationship. In short, the administration has concluded that “For too long, China’s lack of adherence to global trading norms has undercut the prosperity of Americans and others around the world.” To deal with this situation, Ambassador Tai announced a number of provisions including stepped-up enforcement of the Phase One Agreement, a targeted tariff exclusion process and further, significant objections to China’s state-centered and non-market trade practices that Beijing appears to be using more and more in recent years. What are the implications of this “New Approach to the U.S.-China Trade Relationship” for companies doing business in and with China? And for US- China commercial relations more generally?
