The sino-american trade war: background and implications

Abstract EN

A trade war broke out between the top two economic powers since 2018; the United States declared war on China and justified it with the persistent trade deficit with the latter.

China was accused of adopting a set of monetary and trade policies that enhanced the competitiveness of its products in U.

S and global markets while limiting its U.

S exports.

This article, therefore, aims to understand and analyze the background of this war and its repercussions on both of the Chinese and U.

S economies.

One of the most significant findings we made is that a commercial war does not offer a solution to economic conflicts for it will reflect negatively on the economies of the states parties to that war
