The document discusses the potential impact of US-China tariffs on trade relations between the two countries. Robert Lawrence Kuhn, a long-time advisor to China's leaders and author of "How China's Leaders Think" is interviewed by CNN regarding the issue. From China's perspective, they were happy with the status quo before the tariff imposition and blame the US for starting the trade war. They think that both sides will suffer in a trade war, and there are serious problems reflected in American experts and government policies. The US hope is to pressure China into making changes to its policy on issues such as intellectual property protection, tech transfers, and market access. China has implemented measures to open up its markets further, but it needs to be pushed more to make significant progress.
