Event Details
Trump has vowed to place high tariffs on all goods imported from China and to label China a currency manipulator. Clinton has had a complex relationship with China's leadership, and frictions could arise over issues like cyber security, human rights or the South China Sea disputes. Either way, a deterioration of US-China relations would threaten decades of trans-Pacific commercial relationships, supply chain dependencies and political risk assumptions.
The world’s two largest economies are experiencing rising tensions over trade and influence in Asia right as the United States approaches a convoluted presidential election. The purpose of this event is to inform multinational companies about each candidate’s likely China policy after the election, and how they can better prepare for what is coming.
