A new framework is needed to accommodate their various interests as they deal with the ever-changing international situation and the challenges that crop up now and then. Relations have weathered storms over past decades mainly because the two sides share broad common interests.

Carefully parsed economic data may serve as a smokescreen to conceal the genuine state of the U.S. economy and mislead investors. The fog confuses both the observers and the promoters of perceptions, rendering everyone incapable of gauging the seriousness of underlying issues.

Over the 45 years since the China-Japan Peace and Friendship Treaty, the economic scale of the two countries has shifted. In addition, their economic structures have evolved, moving beyond an era of asymmetric dependence to a new phase characterized by mutual reliance.

Forecasts are not in line with reality. China’s economy is doing better than some analysts believe. Yet, alternative strategies must be found. A multi-pronged approach will cover the void left by real estate adjustments and lead China’s economy to a promising future.

Washington’s claims of non-compliance by China are a wish list in disguise. It wants to abrogate China’s rights and impose its own will in reshaping the Chinese economic model. So it should be no surprise that it cooked up a way to do that via the World Trade Organization.

China’s economic performance has been inspiring considerable pessimism lately. In the second quarter of 2023, the Chinese economy grew by just 6.3% from a year earlier – a figure that is disappointing because of the low base in the second quarter of 2022, when pandemic restrictions were still suppressing economic activity. And in July, China’s consumer price index (CPI) entered negative territory for the first time since 2021, sparking fears of a deflationary spiral.

The United States has seen consistent monthly growth throughout the year, but certain risk factors are accumulating. The future trajectory of the U.S. economy will depend on the relative development of economic growth drivers and the potential risks. China must respond thoughtfully.

Through sincere efforts by the U.S. and China, it’s possible that the decline in trade will bottom out this year. Strong business relationships can once again serve as a stabilizing factor in the overall relationship, and inure to the benefit of our two peoples and the world.

China's economic slowdown is no longer the main contributor to global growth, but the rising strength of developing Asian economies offers hope for sustained global economic activity in 2023.

At the end of World War II, the United States accounted for more than half the world’s economic output and gold reserves. The United Kingdom was effectively bankrupt, with the remnants of the sterling area bound together by capital and trade controls. Once the British pound became convertible in July 1947, owing to US insistence, it succumbed to overwhelming selling pressure. The dollar, which was pegged to gold at $35 an ounce, was buoyed by America’s privileged position within the newly formed International Monetary Fund and quickly established itself as the bedrock of global trade and finance.
