On March 22, 2018, Trump signed a ''Section 301'' memorandum on China, kicking off the US-China trade war. The move also led to a series of measures to raise tariffs on exports to China. The US-China trade war is not just a dispute over trade frictions, but a ''structural'' one. In addition to the US-China trade deficit, this ''structural'' problem includes chronic theft of US high-tech and intellectual property rights, forcing the transfer of foreign technology to Chinese companies, China government's subsidization to state-owned enterprises and China's manipulation of the RMB. China's planned, or state-led, model of economic development has allowed Trump to seize the US-China trade issue with the term ''unfair trade.'' It also allowed Trump to adopt ''America first'' and ''fair trade'' slogans as his approach to addressing the trade deficit, and to treat China as a key target. |
