Chen Dingding: Trade War Truce Will Relieve the U.S., for now
On February 24, U.S. President Trump twitted that he would delay the tariffs increase due to progress in negotiations with China, indicating that the possibility of reaching an agreement increases.

According to Reuters, the trade war has caused billions of dollars in losses to both sides. After announcing the above decision, Trump made a speech at the White House and expressed his hope to reach a trade agreement with China that is beneficial to both countries.

Chen Dingding: How Does China Really Think About WTO Reform?
It has been roughly two decades since China was permitted to join the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001. Prior to its accession, there was one economic metric on which it already ranked first.

Given the skyrocketing growth of the Chinese economy during that time, it takes very little imagination to foresee that China’s leadership came to appreciate membership in the WTO as a watershed for the country to embark on a more promising economic future.
