there are many reasons. and there are many answers. and there are many stories. on. w. page for minds. it is china as slowest expansion as more than 4 decades but it is economic growth post in this 2 product increased by 2.3 percent last year that as all other major economies are expected to have contracted and that the coronavirus spend them also coming what's next after america 1st us president elect joe biden inherits

a trade war with china will he lift the tariffs and polls by donald trump and still lantus seals the deal the new car making giant makes its trading debut bringing together 14 different brands. i'm chris cuomo welcome to the program no major economy was able to grow last year because of the coronavirus and demick except for china in trying to trying to china only posted a slump in its economy in the 1st quarter making it the sole country in the world to bounce back from its covert $1000.00 losses with in the same year the overall g.d.p. growth stood at 2.3 percent and its economic growth and trying to 21 is expected to outperform 2020 and it could mark the country's fastest economic growth for a decade now backed by these strong economic figures what will relations with the

united states look like now that a new president is about to take office here is the w.'s to now do a lot of more. what comes next after america 1st 4 years of donald trump have left their mark on the international trading order torn up deals trade wars tit for tat terrorists and it's hardly been a resulting success take the trade war with china washington slap tariffs on billions of dollars worth of chinese products a record amounts are still being spent on them while american exports have only slightly improved china's trade surplus still skyrocketed to over 75000000000 dollars exports to the u.s. are still growing. know how to deal with china is a shared question for both the e.u. and the u.s. they both want to be present in the chinese market because it's huge but they also want to get china to play by the rules that means respecting intellectual property

and having the same conditions for european and american companies in china as the other way around and they don't want china to have unchallenged technological dominance in the world they just haven't figured out how to achieve those ends yet together or separately put out a timer multi-lateralism has supposedly floundered china has since become a signatory to the world's largest free trade pact the regional conference of economic partnership involves 15 countries making up close to 30 percent of world trade deal cut as much as 90 percent of the tariffs on imports between its members within 20 years of coming into effect. now it's worth noting that the. was 1st proposed in 2011 and that's quite a long time before the us china trade war even started so it's not as if one percent potato the other but the u.s. and that you should sit up and take note anyway are sad might not mean as much economically right now but it means that these countries have agree on

a joint economic bench or it is a flora it's a building block. that these countries can and will build up right so it's kind of it's it's it's a stepping stone if you will and that is kind of the part that should for you the e.u. and that should for a the united states the e.u. and the u.s. have a host of issues to deal with before they can repair and eventually strengthen the relationship so that they can counter the outsized ambitions of china which i'm all other ways has cemented its international influence by signing a sweeping free trade deal with its neighbors and beyond i mean that's manageable but it is also of course a special time to live is going to he's inheriting a very. you know dramatic. economic situation the best thing to use there for because of the pad there may going to be 1st and foremost

a domestic oriented president those who really hope the biden administration is going to are sure in a new era of closer transatlantic trade relations i think they're going to have to be patient for the 1st couple of years. while a golden age is hardly to be found in the time of a pandemic there is a golden opportunity not to return to the system before donald trump but to make it better he won't make trade great again alone with allies help it can be greater than it once. it's all right for more of this let's bring in the sorts on hand in taipei so let's take a look at china's g.d.p. growth in 2000 and 21st 2.3 percent growth despite all the ramifications of the coronavirus where is that growth coming from. or growth is backed by the strict virus contend the measures and stimulus policy the dramatic

will create a new post cold indo-pacific coordinator and it will assign kurt can bell a former assistant secretary of state during the obama administration and kurt campbell is not on the matter when it comes to dealing with china china related issues and he has also worked with many u.s. allies in asia pacific region so china can and should expect more challenge from the u.s. and what sort of stance towards the incoming administration can we expect from beijing. well. in the next 4 years for china in the u.s. it's really a competition of winning more friends and from the e.u. china a comprehensive investment agreement to the r. e.c.p.a. involving many asian countries china has tried to prevent the u.s. from joining forces with its allies so the biden stray ssion can expect beijing to
