For the last two years, the conflict between the United States and China has dominated the economic and financial-market debate – with good reason. After threats and accusations that long predate US President Donald Trump’s election, rhetoric has given way to action. Over the past 17 months, the world’s two largest economies have become embroiled in the most serious tariff war since the early 1930s.

The trust deficit between China and the U.S. is resulting in irrational policies and harm to both countries’ economies. A range of mechanisms to enhance dialogue and coordination have been set up over the past 40 years. Relaunching and revitalizing these mechanisms will be essential to establishing a new, mutually beneficial model for China-U.S. co-existence.
