Nordic Chamber Joint Event: AFTER THE US MID-ELECTIONS: WHERE IS CHINA HEADING NEXT?

Tensions between the US and China have spilled over from the trade war into a number of other strategic areas, and are now joint by disputes over territorial claims in the South China Sea, military cooperation and espionage. Last month during a meeting on nonproliferation in the United Nation, President Trump directly accused China of interfering in the U.S. midterm elections in retaliation for the ongoing trade war between Washington and Beijing, marking a new front in the deepening hostilities that have threatened to upend bilateral relations.

The world is watching as the upcoming midterm elections in the US approaches. Experts have said that no real improvement in the trade tensions between the U.S. and China is expected until after mid-term elections. But what can we really expect? We have invited Andrew Polk to discuss outcomes from the election and how these may affect both the Global trade tensions and the Chinese economy and diplomatic relationship between China and the US.

Andrew Polk is a co-founder at Trivium/China and head of the firm's economic research. He was previously director of China research at Medley Global Advisors and resident economist at the Conference Board's China Center.
