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.
