Episode 8: Gerard DiPippo
The Intensifying Economic Competition Between the United States and China
Listen to This Episode
When the White House recently announced it would increase tariffs on a range of Chinese goods, it used striking language to explain why the measures were necessary. The White House statement claimed that “China’s unfair trade practices concerning technology transfer, intellectual property, and innovation are threatening American businesses and workers” and complained that “China is also flooding global markets with artificially low-priced exports.” The statement points to a new dynamic between the United States and China, and the ways in which President’s Biden’s international economy policy considers economic competition with China through a national security lens.
Gerard DiPippo is an expert on the Chinese economy, with unique insights on how Chinese economic policy can undermine American interests.
