Is the latest flare-up in US–China relations simply brinkmanship ahead of a planned Trump–Xi meeting later this month, or a sign of structural tensions that point to a re-escalation of the trade war?
On Tuesday 14th October at 09:00 BST/16:00 SGT and 10:00 ET/15:00 BST, Group Chief Economist Neil Shearing will lead briefings with our China and US economists on the latest threats and counterthreats from Beijing and Washington. They’ll explain how these moves fit into the broader breakdown in relations — and what to expect in the weeks and months ahead.
During these 20-minute sessions, the team will address key questions, including:
- What the latest controls on rare earth exports could mean for global supply chains
- The scope for further bilateral actions if tensions continue to escalate
- How the US and Chinese economies are likely to be affected by a prolonged trade war
