Sean Randolph, Senior Director of The Bay Area Council Economic Institute, recently published an op-ed in the San Francisco Chronicle outlining how the U.S.-China trade standoff has reached its current point, why a resolution has become so difficult to achieve, and how talks could eventually succeed. This op-ed builds on our previous reports, The Real Impact of Trade Agreements: How Trade Affects Jobs, Manufacturing, and Economic Competitiveness (April 2017) and Chinese Innovation: China’s Technology Future and What It Means for Silicon Valley (November 2017).
