The U.S.-China Trade War and Its Impact

Since the trade war between China and the United States began 2018, its impact has been worldwide and especially prominent on the global economy. If the trade war persists, then global supply chains may be reorganized, and social and political problems may follow. Even if China and the United States were to reach a compromise on trade issues, it does not necessarily mean that the long-term competitive relationship between China and the United States can be eased. What are the key issues behind the U.S.-China trade conflict? What counter-measures should Taiwan adopt in the crack? The Fair Winds Foundation has paid close attention to the impact of the trade war and is pleased to invite Lawrence Lau, a well-known international economist and former president of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, to speak in Taiwan. Lau specializes in global economic development and has won many international academic awards. He will use his expertise to analyze the structural factors and impact of the U.S.-China trade conflicts. In addition, he will also converse with Woody Duh, former vice premier and minister of economic affairs, the prospects for economic development and courses that Taiwan may take to respond. The event is exciting and open to the public.
