U.S. Policy Faults Highlighted | 'Neglect and Overlook' Signal Deficient Approach vs. China: Da Wei

In an interview as part of the Open Questions series, Da Wei, the director of Tsinghua University's Centre for International Security and Strategy in Beijing, shared his assessment on the ongoing China-US negotiations and trade tensions.

Da Wei expressed cautious optimism about a potential tariff agreement between China and the United States, noting that both countries reportedly want to reach a deal in the ongoing negotiations. He believes that if a deal is considered a success, there is a good chance of reaching an agreement.

The tariff truce between China and the United States has been extended by 90 days, as previously mentioned. Da Wei suggested that the ideal timeline for a deal is later this autumn. However, the next round of high-level trade negotiations between the two countries has not been specifically scheduled or publicly announced as of now. The Chinese government's negotiation partner is typically represented by officials from the Ministry of Commerce or related economic agencies, but no precise date or name of the current counterpart was found in the available results.

Da Wei's research focuses on China-US relations and US security and foreign policy. He emphasised the importance of the criteria and definition of success in the tariff negotiations, stating that these factors play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the talks.

The China-US trade talks have recently held several rounds of high-level discussions, as previously stated. For other interviews in the Open Questions series, a link is provided. The interview first appeared in SCMP Plus.

It's worth noting that no new information about Trump, Europe, Japan, South Korea, or Britain was provided in the current paragraph.
