Increased hope for a trade deal between China and the United States

At the end of November, the eyes of the world turn to Buenos Aires when US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping meet for the first time in a year.

The meeting takes place after an icy period between the two countries. Some went so far that they started talking about a
new cold war.

Here, there are clashes in several directions. Trade, security and democracy. The United States and China have rushed several times and US Vice President Mike Pence has drawn China's attention to the United States. The United States' strategy of bringing China closer to the hope that closer ties would open up the country politically and economically was far from the previous discourse.

But too little according to the Trumpad administration, which has taken place aggressively, especially in the commercial sector.
Tariffs on imports from China were introduced in several stages and now apply to half of the imports from China. In the background, threats prevent the import of all Chinese imports. China reacted to the fraudulent manipulation of US products. Xi Jinping recently said that his country wants to become more autonomous and less dependent on the United States.

Now there are signs that countries may be getting closer. Following a phone call between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping l last week, both parties came out with positive messages and hope to find a solution to the trade dispute. What was previously planned to be a brief meeting now resembles an official dinner between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, in conjunction with the G20 meeting in Buenos Aires in late November.

And Xi Jinping appeared to be trying to charm his counterpart on Monday when he opened an international fair in Shanghai. China wants to buy more foreign products, intends to reduce its import duties and plans to open its market to several foreign companies, said the Chinese president against the leaders of large US companies such as Google and GM. The huge trade deficit of the United States against China is one of Donald Trump's horses. It could decline if China reports on Xi Jinping 's commitment to import more.

True, Chinese leaders have already spoken about the same things, but this has not been realized. And Xi Jinping also did not mention the criticism of the United States that China steals technology from US companies or the requirement that the country reduces its participation in competing companies in the international arena . Nevertheless, hopes for a trade agreement between the United States and China have increased.

But even if Trump and Xi shake hands on the trade issue, it means far from any ice cream. China and the United States are in conflict in several other areas. For example, the situation is tense around the South China Sea, as claimed by China, but the Allied States regard them as such. Even Taiwan, as China believes, belongs to them, is a sensitive subject. In addition, the United States has recently stepped up its efforts against Chinese spies on US soil. The United States also accused China of being
join the American election of middle age and
violating human rights in its treatment of minorities.

And that Xi Jinping has doubts about the US administration, he said during his speech in Shanghai. He never mentioned Trump or the USA by name. But few learn to doubt the following statement.

– As globalization deepens, the law of the jungle and winning winning strategies are deadlocked.
