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.

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.

The U.S. and China have agreed to pause their trade war, with Robert Lawrence Kuhn stating that both sides are interpreting the deal differently. The Chinese look at the status quo as good for both sides, while the Americans have critical issues to address such as open markets, IP protection, forced technology transfer, and cyber security/cyber theft. However, they have different interpretations of events, with the spy plane collision in 2001 being a notable example. The pause will allow time for negotiations and give China an opportunity to celebrate its 40th anniversary of reform and opening up.
