Five years in the making, China’s new Foreign Investment Law has finally been put into effect. The ambiguous language of the law will prove beneficial to Chinese manufacturing as manufacturers that have recently experienced losses are given free rein to ameliorate their suffering industries.

While the Trump administration has been quick to celebrate the recently-signed Phase One trade deal between the US and China, the deal is not progress for Sino-US relations. Instead, the limited agreement simply secures US affirmation of Chinese plans that were already underway.

The Phase One Agreement between China and the U.S. on their trade dispute was signed in Washington, D.C. on 15th January, sealing a temporary truce in their trade war, which had already lasted almost two years. This is a most welcome development, not only for China and the U.S., but also for the rest of the world. It is expected to usher in a period of relative calm and stability as well as reduced uncertainty and unpredictability, which should in turn increase both investment and consumption globally, and result in higher rates of economic growth.

Thorny, fundamental issues have been left to the next round, and nobody can predict how further talks will develop. Meanwhile, the U.S. presidential election season is heating up, and the world should be prepared for the worst.

When it comes to the way many in the U.S. view China, perception is far from reality. Irresponsible analysis can only mislead policymakers and harm bilateral trade relations.
