In his address to the IIEA, David Dollar will reflect on the current state of U.S.-China relations. He will argue that although the decline in relations pre-dates President Trump, it has been accelerated during his presidency. He will analyse the problems in the relationship with a particular focus on trade, technology, and global public goods.
