The real winner of the tariff war
As the US seeks a “total reset” of China-US trade relations, China is at the critical juncture of industrial upgrading and economic transformation, with the success of its modernisation hanging in the balance, says academic Jianyong Yue.

China needs economic nationalism, not deeper globalisation
Academic Jianyong Yue notes that if China wants to truly be part of the global economy, and not a semi-periphery nation with outward-oriented, dependent development, practising economic nationalism to protect its industries and people is critical in this process. China can then achieve autonomous development under a strong state.

Will following the US bring peace and prosperity to China?
Many in the Chinese world have unquestionably accepted the idea that friendly relations with the US will guarantee a country's prosperity. However, academic Jianyong Yue notes that despite the honeymoon period between China and the US in the 1980s, China was still not endowed preferential treatment. Meanwhile, many countries have seen immense development even without the help of the US.

Does China still need the CPTPP?
Academic Jianyong Yue notes that despite China's seeming eagerness to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), doing so may in fact hinder it from realising its full potential, given the strict regulations of the group. Perhaps it might be better for China to focus on developing its domestic market and turning into a strong consumption power capable of supporting its industrial upgrading and economic transformation.
