Why Biden Should Abandon Trump’s Failed Trade War with China
US President-elect Joe Biden says he will not make any significant changes to America's China policy until he conducts a full review of the existing "phase one" trade agreement and consults with allies in Asia and Europe. But it should not take a comprehensive review to see that this approach is unworkable.

But if Biden maintains outgoing President Donald Trump’s confrontational approach to the world’s second-largest economy, he will come to regret it.
