The document discusses the economic benefits of trade between the US and China. It finds that trade with China supports around 2.6 million American jobs across industries. While some manufacturing jobs were lost, US exports to China support sectors like agriculture, transportation equipment, and services. Chinese economic growth and rising middle class also create significant opportunities for US companies. However, reforms are still needed in China to remove market barriers. Overall, the study finds that trade with China benefits the US economy through jobs, lower prices, and economic growth.
A systematic approach to the 'Trade War' from accusation to events and consequences. I've kept it relatively simple as the presentation was meant for undergrad students.

The ongoing tradewar between US and China is reaching alarming proportions and has to be seen as a war for international supremacy in Technology and Power
The founder of Alibaba Jack Ma said that the war will continue for 20 years. The trade war takes a new tern to a war of supremacy of technology. It has been presumed that the next new administration in Washington even cannot withdraw the trade war and it will continue till the raise of China to number one economy of the world toppling USA or until loss of relevance of such war to both the parties.
The trade war between US and China has shocked the world. With this PPT, we tried to gauge the effects of the trade war on the economies of both countries, while also looking at the implications it has had on the trade between India-US and India-China. Finally, we attempt to single out the winner of the trade war.
Causes and possible consequences of the us china trade warHüseyin Tekler
When we look at the history of the known humanity, it appears that people started living in communities and that private property has emerged due to the progress of historical conditions. One of the consequences of this outcome is that world history is the scene of many wars and destruction. When it comes to war, it is armed struggles that take place between countries or political groups that come to mind first. Looking at this perspective, we see that the historical development process is also seen as the great majority of battles take place as physical battles, but it has become possible to say that, with great physical battles, technological and economic developments, sword-fighting and armed wars have begun to shift to economic and cultural wars. This new form of war has begun to take place on the stage of history on the basis of economic instruments. As an example of economic warfare, protectionism can be shown by countries in the direction of their own economic interests. It would not be wrong to say that the currency wars and the wars of trade that brought about by the protectionist policies of the countries, especially in the crisis period, will be the most important economic problem of our time. Throughout history, all wars have led to great destruction, and generally underdeveloped countries and poor countries have been affected by these destructions, and it is not wrong to say that the economic wars, as well as physical wars, will effect the least developed countries and the poor countries.
In this analysis, in the light of the historical background of protectionism, a trade war and the possible consequences of this war, which could be caused by the mutually elevated trade walls of the US and China, were examined.
It involves 12 countries: the US, Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, Brunei, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, Chile and Peru.
The pact aims to deepen economic ties between these nations, slashing tariffs and fostering trade to boost growth.
Member countries are also hoping to foster a closer relationship on economic policies and regulation.
The agreement could create a new single market something like that of the EU.
Pretty big indeed. The 12 countries have a collective population of about 800 million - almost double that of the European Union's single market. The 12-nation would-be bloc is already responsible for 40% of world trade.
The deal is a remarkable achievement given the very different approaches and standards within the member countries, including environmental protection, workers' rights and regulatory coherence - not to mention the special protections that some countries have for certain industries

The Ukraine crisis: Unraveling the impacts and policy responses in low- and middle- income countries
AUG 31, 2022 - 9:30 TO 11:00AM EDT
On June 23rd 2016 the UK voted in a referendum to leave the European Union.
Prime Minister David Cameron resigned the morning after the vote
A few weeks later, Theresa May was elected leader of the Conservative Party and new Prime Minister.
The terms of the UK’s new economic relationship with the EU remain uncertain.
Hard Brexit
Means that the United Kingdom leaves the EU Single Market and trades under World Trade Organization rules
Under WTO rules, each member must grant the same market access—including charging the same tariffs—to all other members as the most favoured nation
Soft Brexit
Involves the option of staying in the Single Market (like Norway)
As a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), Norway has a free trade agreement with the European Union, which means that there are no tariffs on trade between the two

Russia's war in Ukraine is the biggest bugbear for the global economy in 2022-23.
It has directly or indirectly raised the prices of a vast range of things- from food and cooking gas, soaps and cosmetics, cars and city transport, steel and aluminium, to flight tickets and shipping freight.
It's the biggest choke on a world sputtering to a recovery after two years of pandemic slump.

One of the purest fallacies is that trade follows the fl ag. Trade follows the lowest price current. If a dealer in any colony wished to buy Union Jacks, he would order them from Britain's worst foe if he could save a sixpence.
—Andrew Carnegie
Patterns of Trade
Before I consider these issues, let's look at some numbers to get a sense of the nature and dimensions of international trade.
Increasing but Fluctuating World Trade
In 1928, total world trade was about $500 billion (in today's dollars). U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) was about $830 billion, so world trade as a percentage of U.S. GDP was almost 60 percent. In 1935, that ratio had fallen to less than 30 percent. In 1950 it was 20 percent. Then it started rising. Today it is about 250 percent, with world trade amounting to about $32 trillion. As you can see, international trade has been growing, but with significant fluctuations in that growth. Sometimes international trade has grown rapidly; at other times it has grown slowly or has even fallen.
In part, fluctuations in world trade result from fluctuations in world output. When output rises, international trade rises; when output falls, international trade falls. Fluctuations in world trade are also in part explained by trade restrictions that countries have imposed from time to time. For example, decreases in world income during the Depression of the 1930s caused a large decrease in trade, but that decrease was exacerbated by a worldwide increase in trade restrictions.
Differences in the Importance of Trade
The importance of international trade to countries' economies differs widely, as we can see in the table below, which presents the importance of the shares of exports—the value of goods and services sold abroad—and imports—the value of goods and services purchased abroad—for various countries.
Among the countries listed, the Netherlands has the highest amount of exports compared to total output; the United States has the lowest.
The Netherlands' imports are also the highest as a percentage of total output. Japan's are the lowest. The relationship between a country's imports and its exports is no coincidence. For most countries, imports and exports roughly equal one another, though in any particular year that equality can be rough indeed. For the United States in recent years, imports have generally significantly exceeded exports. But that situation can't continue forever, as I'll discuss.
Total trade figures provide us with only part of the international trade picture. We must also look at what types of goods are traded and with whom that trade is conducted.

IN THIS SUMMARY
Within the past 10 years, China has evolved from a third world country into one of the most economically powerful countries in the world, second only to the United States. With China’s government-backed development of industry and excellent trade balance, they are on the path to passing the U.S. and becoming the most powerful nation on earth. The United States’ continuous outsourcing of jobs, weakening industries, and consumer focused culture are crippling the country economically and increasing the need for imports from China, further boosting Chinese industry. In Chinamerica, Handel Jones outlines what China is doing to further itself as an economic powerhouse, and what America can do to further its economic future while maintaining positive trade balances.

THE PROBLEM OF CHINA’S AGING POPULATIONPeachy Essay
China’s life expectancy rates have increased substantially from 44 years to 76 years over the past years. Even so, the United Nations project the country’s aging population will increase to nearly 870 million by 2050 (Wei, 2021). China’s 7th election showed that the country has the world’s largest elderly population with 455 million people aged 60 years and above and account for 32.2 % of the total population as of 2020 (Does China have an aging problem? 2020). An increasingly older population risks a country's economic productivity, which ultimately impacts global foreign exchange trading processes long-term due to the rising dependency ratio
Illegal immigration is one of the most common criminal offences recorded in the United Kingdom. There is no correct definition of an illegal migrant or irregular migrant in UK law, but there are many ways an individual becomes an irregular migrant. If one enters the UK regularly but breaches the conditions that granted their entry, such as work or is convicted, they are considered illegal migrants. An individual who enters the UK through deception and those who don't leave the country after missing asylum is irregular migrants. The UK doesn't have birthright citizenship, and if one is born of irregular migrants, they are considered to be illegal migrants too. Many people without regular migration status in the UK arrived by air and through ordinary means. Illegal immigration is a serious problem since millions of illegal migrants are already in the UK.

International Business Cultural Analysis of SingaporePeachy Essay
International Business Cultural Analysis of Singapore
Singapore is a wonderful example of a multi-ethnic state since its population is mixed-up of Chinese 74.3%, Malays 13.3%, and Indians 9.1%. Since the government's efforts to preserve religious pluralism, Singapore has no official or dominant religion.
Singapore follows the Asian model of higher education and research, which is based on Confucian education systems like those found in Japan and Korea.
It has a long history of political stability, and the government aggressively promotes international investment.
It has highly developed free market economy(Commisceo Global, 2017).
A fractional upper class, an upper middle class, an intermediate middle class, a lower middle class, and a working class are the five social classes that may be identified in Singapore's society.
Bethesda Mining is a coal mining company with mining fields across different locations including Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Kentucky. The company sells its products either by contract or on spot market. Recently, the company was approached by Mid-Ohio Electric Company for the supply of five hundred tons of coal for a period of four years on a contract basis. Currently, the company does not have enough coals in its mines to take the contract. However, the company has another option that they need to consider and maybe take the contract.
Remote Patient Monitoring System at Mayo ClinicPeachy Essay
This report details the use of a ground-breaking health information technology (HIT), the Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) system. This technology bridges the gap between the patient and the medical practitioners. In practice, this technological service forms part of telehealth. Telehealth refers to the administration of medical duties and services to patients remotely. However, telehealth can involve multiple systems other than the RPM in taking medical services to patients away from the traditional hospital setting (Hathaliya et al., 2019). Overall, it is an impressive medical solution because it makes it possible for hospitals in general to save costs, lower patient queueing while providing patients with comfortable, homely treatment among other benefits (Annis et al., 2020). The application of RPM at Mayo Clinic will be analyzed in this project with the main goal being to provide ample information about this modern and important technological solution.
The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic has made worse in every imaginable way. People with underlying medical conditions have been considered to be more at risk than others. In this paper,
the risks associated with opioid addiction and how it has affected victims in Canada will be analyzed. Reports show that in British Columbia (BC), a new all-time high has been recorded. In
2020 alone, there were over 4,000 deaths related to opioids (Crabtree et al., 2020). This increase can be traced to the measures undertaken during the pandemic in BC. These measures caused what Papamihali et al. (2020) called a syndemic. This is a situation when multiple public health emergencies come together to make each other worse. The syndemic between the opioids crisis and COVID-19 in BC will be outlined seeking to understand the reason behind the unusually high number of deaths in that region in 2020.
There is a lot of apprehensions associated with inverted yield curves and for good reason. From a macro-economic perspective, an inverted yield curve predicts poor economic
performances shortly. This is the reason why in August 2019 when a yield curve inversion was reported in the United States, the term recession was the most searched on Google in the country (Mendez-Carbajo, 2019). The two concepts are often related because, an inverted yield curve, more often than not, leads to a recession.
what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

Pi coins is not launched yet in any exchange 💱 this means it's not swappable, the current pi displaying on coin market cap is the iou version of pi. And you can learn all about that on my previous post.
RIGHT NOW THE ONLY WAY you can sell pi coins is through verified pi merchants. A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins and resell them to exchanges and crypto whales. Looking forward to hold massive quantities of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale or ico offerings, the only way to get my coins is from buying from miners. So a merchant facilitates the transactions between the miners and these exchanges holding pi.
I and my friends has sold more than 6000 pi coins successfully with this method. I will be happy to share the contact of my personal pi merchant. The one i trade with, if you have your own merchant you can trade with them. For those who are new.
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram.
I wouldn't advise you selling all percentage of the pi coins. Leave at least a before so its a win win during open mainnet. Have a nice day pioneers ♥️

• Exports and imports continued growing due to better logistics through the Ukrainian sea corridor and road. Polish farmers and drivers stopped blocking borders at the end of April.
• In April, both the Tax and Customs Services over-executed the revenue plan. Moreover, the NBU transferred twice the planned profit to the budget.
• The European side approved the Ukraine Plan, which the government adopted to determine indicators for the Ukraine Facility. That approval will allow Ukraine to receive a EUR 1.9 bn loan from the EU in May. At the same time, the EU provided Ukraine with a EUR 1.5 bn loan in April, as the government fulfilled five indicators under the Ukraine Plan.
• The USA has finally approved an aid package for Ukraine, which includes USD 7.8 bn of budget support; however, the conditions and timing of the assistance are still unknown.
• As in March, annual consumer inflation amounted to 3.2% yoy in April.

2. Foreword
The US-China Business Council (USCBC) is pleased to have commissioned this study by Oxford
Economics on the overall impact of China on the US economy.
During last year’s election campaign, the negative impact of trade with China, such as estimates
of jobs lost, received considerable attention. In most cases, the presented data fails to provide
a balanced assessment that incorporates the positive effect of the commercial relationship with
China. Presenting only the negative impact and ignoring the jobs created, lower inflation, and
other benefits of trade with China can lead to policies based on incomplete or misleading
information.
At the same time, the benefits projected in this study will only be fully realized if China moves
forward with economic reforms that address the very real market access and level playing field
barriers faced by American companies, farmers, and workers. The stagnation of reforms is
creating policy uncertainty and undermining confidence at a time of political transitions in both
countries.
We must address unfair trade practices by China (or any other trading partner) when they
occur. We also need to be clear about other factors that affect jobs in the United States, such as
technological changes and productivity, and put in place effective domestic programs that will
maintain our international competitiveness and support workers and communities affected by
trade.
Oxford Economics’ study, through its analysis of the economic relationship with China, provides
a sound basis for such a policy discussion.

Understanding the US-China Trade Relationship
Prepared for the US-China Business Council by Oxford Economics
January 2017
Executive summary
As the recent presidential campaign focused renewed attention on the condition of the
US economy, many Americans have been told that international trade—and more
specifically, China’s trade relationship with the United States—is bad for workers and
hurts US growth.
The US-China trade relationship is far more nuanced than the headlines suggest,
however, and the trade deficit doesn’t tell the whole story.
Today, the US-China trade relationship actually supports roughly 2.6 million jobs in the
United States across a range of industries, including jobs that Chinese companies have
created in America. And as the Chinese middle class continues its rapid expansion over
the next decade (the number of Chinese middle-class consumers will exceed the entire
population of the United States by 2026), US companies face significant opportunities to
tap into a new and lucrative customer base that can further boost employment and
economic growth. Economic data show that nations trading closely with China
outperform nations with less integrated trade ties, and we expect this trend to
continue.
Examples of the benefits to the US economy from trade with China include:
China purchased $165 billion in goods and services from the United States in 2015,1
representing 7.3 percent of all US exports and about 1 percent of total US economic
output.
Although some US manufacturing jobs have been lost because of the trade deficit,
US firms sell high-value products to China, including cars and trucks, construction
equipment, and semiconductors, which support jobs. US firms also export business
and financial services, totaling $6.7 billion in 2014 and $7.1 billion in 2015. By 2030,
we expect US exports to China to rise to more than $520 billion.
As China has become an integral part of the global manufacturing supply chain,
much of its exports are comprised of foreign-produced components delivered for
final assembly in China. If the value of these imported components is subtracted
from China’s exports, the US trade deficit with China is reduced by half, to about 1
percent of GDP—about the same as the US trade deficit with the European Union.
America’s 11th
-largest export market in 2000, China has grown to become the third-
largest destination for American goods and services. US exports to China directly
and indirectly supported 1.8 million new jobs and $165 billion in GDP in 2015.
When the economic benefits generated from US investment in China and Chinese
investment in the US are combined, the total amounts to 2.6 million US jobs and
about $216 billion of GDP.
China is expected to continue to be one of the fastest growing major economies,
creating growth opportunities for American companies— provided China proceeds

with economic reforms that will remove lingering market access barriers in many
sectors.
China is a leading purchaser of US agricultural products. In 2015, China purchased an
estimated $15 billion in agricultural goods; Illinois and Texas each accounted for $1
billion of this total.
Chinese manufacturing also lowered prices in the United States for consumer goods,
dampening inflation and putting more money in American wallets. At an aggregate
level, US consumer prices are 1 percent - 1.5 percent lower because of cheaper
Chinese imports. The typical US household earned about $56,500 in 2015; trade
with China therefore saved these families up to $850 that year.
Since 2003, productivity growth in US manufacturing outpaced most advanced
economies. Oxford Economics calculates that US manufacturing productivity
increased by 40 percent from 2003 to 2016, or 2.5 percent annually, compared with
23 percent in Germany.2
Meanwhile, rapidly rising factory wages and a rising
currency make Chinese workers relatively less cost-competitive than their American
counterparts. US factories are still 90 percent more productive than Chinese
manufacturers. These trends may lead to some “reshoring” or retention of
manufacturing jobs in the United States.

Introduction
The pace and scope of China’s growth over the past three decades is unprecedented. In
less than one generation, a population larger than that of the United States rose from
poverty, creating a middle class of more than 300 million people who devour Hollywood
movies, enthusiastically shop online, and lead the world in the use of mobile web and e-
commerce applications. China is now crisscrossed by bullet trains connecting massive
industrial complexes that produce cars, TVs, chemicals, and electronics sold to
consumers in the world’s second-largest economy and buyers around the world.
Americans don’t always see China’s growth as positive, particularly those in the
manufacturing sector. It is easy to tally the dislocation that foreign competitors,
including many from China, have caused among US manufacturers. And indeed, the US
trade deficit with China is still significant at $334 billion, or 1.9 percent of GDP.
But this obscures the fact that US exporters have been increasing what they sell to
China, proving it to be a strong market for a wide range of sectors such as agriculture,
chemicals, and transport equipment. China has become the third-largest purchaser of
US-made products and services (after Mexico and Canada, our closest neighbors with
which the US has a free trade agreement), buying $165 billion in goods and services in
2015 alone. These sales will increase as China’s economy matures and Chinese wages
continue to rise. By 2026, we expect the United States to be exporting $369 billion in
goods and services to China and by 2030 this figure will reach $525 billion, or 10 percent
of total US exports, reflecting the enormous size of China’s market and the faster pace
in the projected growth in its cohort of middle class consumers.
US multinational companies and entrepreneurs have been major contributors to the
development of China’s economy. Jeep and General Motors were among the first to set
up automobile manufacturing centers in China, for example, gaining an early foothold in
what is now the world’s largest automobile market.
In the wake of these first movers, the global supply chain, with its hub in Asia,
developed rapidly in the 2000s. Companies such as Apple used US know-how to develop
products to be assembled in China using components manufactured around the world
and then sold in markets around the globe, including the United States. Doing so
improved the competitiveness and profitability of US businesses, which are today
among the world’s largest in dynamic sectors, such as automotive and technology. US
businesses’ income from direct investments around the world has tripled since 2000 to
2.4 percent of GDP, with income from China making an important contribution.
Naturally, as large businesses earn more overseas income, they can spend more with
smaller suppliers and subcontractors here at home.
As the Chinese economy transitions into the modern age, there is ample reason to
believe US exports can grow even more rapidly, and US firms can harvest significant
revenues from their investments.
China has become the
third-largest purchaser
of US-made products
and services,
spending $165 billion
in 2015 alone. In just
10 years, that figure is
expected to increase
to $370 billion.
7. 7
How China supports US—and global—growth
Once dominated by state-owned enterprises and collective farms, China has
transformed into a vibrant economy where millions of entrepreneurs and independent
companies operate. Moreover, a nation once unsympathetic to capitalism received
billions in foreign direct investment from companies looking to sell to Chinese
consumers and is now looking to invest in markets around the globe, including the
United States.
This transition hastened China’s rise—and benefited its closest trading partners. Indeed,
the United States has seen demonstrable returns since China entered the World Trade
Organization (WTO) in 2001.
Both China and the US have outperformed their peers since 2001
China’s economic performance is perhaps without precedent for an emerging economy.
Since 2000, its GDP growth averaged almost 10 percent annually, even when accounting
for the recent slowdown, which reflects the rapid maturation of its economy. While the
US economy has added 15.4 percent to world GDP growth over the past 15 years, China
has added 26.6 percent to world economic output. China has contributed more to global
expansion over the past 15 years than the Eurozone and the United States combined.
This rapid growth transformed China into the world’s second-largest economy, even if
overall living standards hardly compare with those of the most industrialized
economies. China’s increase in size after 2000 is equivalent to adding another Germany
and France to the world economy.
Fig. 1: China has been the fastest-growing developing market since 2000
8. 8
China’s growth has benefitted other economies. Many factors determine a country’s
economic performance, ranging from population and education to investment and R&D,
but Fig. 2 shows that countries with the biggest increase in openness (the sum of
exports and imports as a share of GDP) with China—particularly neighboring Hong Kong
and South Korea—had the highest growth since 2001.
Fig. 2: Countries with closer economic links with China grow faster
Despite the Great Recession of 2008, the United States has experienced stronger growth
than most other developed economies outside of Asia. Since 2000, US compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) in GDP has been 1.8 percent, ahead of most large
industrialized nations. In fact, among developed countries, it is only those economies
that are closer in proximity to China (Singapore, Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan) or are
major exporters of mineral products, coal, and agricultural commodities like dairy
products (Australia, New Zealand, and Canada) have benefited more from China’s rapid
growth.
If we look at the absolute increase in GDP per capita since 2000 to see how incomes of
households on average have improved (Fig. 3), only Australia, New Zealand, and
Singapore have outperformed the United States. All three economies benefitted from
relatively strong performance through the financial crisis and its aftermath, and
Australia and New Zealand enjoy significant natural resource endowments.
9. 9
Fig. 3: Among developed nations, only Australia, Singapore, and New Zealand have
enjoyed larger income gains than the United States
Closer integration with China demonstrates economic benefits
US businesses benefit in four key areas from the trade relationship with China:
Exports to China support jobs at home. US goods and services to China were
worth $165 billion in 2015, accounting for 7.3 percent of all US exports and
about 1 percent of total US GDP. Agricultural commodities such as soybeans and
pork products represent major exports, but US firms also sell a significant
amount of manufactured goods, including transport equipment (passenger cars,
planes), construction equipment, and high value-added electronics, such as
semiconductors. The United States also exports a range of business and financial
services, representing $6.7 billion in 2014 and $7.1 billion in 2015. Tourism plays
another important role: Oxford Economics estimates there were 2.6 million
passenger arrivals from China in the United States in 2015, up from 230,000 in
2000. These visitors support hotels, restaurants, and the retail sector. Total
exports to China directly supported 1.5 million jobs and $128 billion in GDP in
2015 according to estimates by Oxford Economics.
It is also important to note that China is deeply connected in the global supply
chain, so a significant number of products indirectly find their way to China,

Economics, total

1.5 million jobs and
$128 billion in GDP in

either as part of the Asia supply chain or to feed Chinese demand. Not only are
exports from the United States to Hong Kong and Singapore re-exported to
China, but US products are embedded in the exports of other countries.
According to OECD data, 3 percent to 4 percent of the value of exports from
other Asian countries—a significant number of which are destined for China—
can be attributed to the United States. If we add the indirect exports to the
goods the United States directly ships to China, the value of US exports to China
increases by more than 25 percent. Taking this into account, China supported
about 1.8 million US jobs and $165 billion in GDP in 2015.
China’s rapid growth and rising consumer demand does not only have an impact
on growing US exports. It also influences how much China’s neighbors purchase
from the United States, as their increased trade with China assists their
expansion as well. As highlighted in Fig. 2, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore,
and Taiwan all benefited from China’s rise, and these economies all sit in the top
15 export markets for the United States. For example, South Korea purchases
nearly 3 percent of US exports, while Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan
combined purchase another 6.1 percent of US exports.
Fig. 4: US exports a wide variety of goods and services to China
US investment in China and Asia generates income for US businesses.
Americans don’t just benefit from direct sales to China; the investments US
firms made in China also generate returns. The income from US investments in
China totaled about $9.8 billion in 2015, equivalent to 0.5 percent of corporate
profits in the United States, according to the Commerce Department’s Bureau of
Economic Analysis (BEA).3
In addition, BEA data found that less that 6 percent of
products made in China by US-owned companies were sent to the United
States, while 80 percent of those sales were sold to customers in China. If profits
from these operations were redistributed to US-based shareholders and spent
3

domestically, they would support 103,000 jobs and $11.9 billion in GDP.4
However, this only captures part of the return from US investment in the Asian
supply chain. If we include those returns on US investment in the Sino-Asian
supply chain,5
then as many as 688,000 jobs could be supported.
Chinese firms are beginning to invest in the United States. China invested
$14.8 billion in the United States in 2015, up from $277 million in 2000. Based
on data from the BEA, more than 38,000 people are employed at US affiliates of
Chinese firms. Taking into account how these affiliates interact with the rest of
the US economy through the supply chain, we estimate this Chinese investment
in the United States supports a total of 104,000 jobs and $10.8 billion in GDP.
For example, Haier, a Chinese appliance manufacturer, employs 12,000 US
workers who produce appliances out of facilities in Kentucky, Indiana, Alabama,
Georgia, and Tennessee, and is expanding its operations in South Carolina to
add 400 new workers. Automotive parts manufacturer Wanxiang has major US
operations employing more than 12,500 American workers.

Trade with China increased US productivity, which lies at the heart of wealth
creation. Studies show that greater openness to trade stimulates competition
and entrepreneurship, which leads to productivity gains.6
Based on typical trade

This is likely an upper limit of the impact because US businesses do not redistribute all profits as dividend, and not all
shareholders are based in the United States.

Dessus, Fukasaku, and Safadi (1999) found a 10 percent rise in the openness ratio resulted in GDP rising by 0.8–0.9 percent.
Frankel and Romer (1999) found that an increase in trade exposure of 1 percent increases income by 0.5 percent. Dollar and
Kraay (2004) found a 100 percent increase in trade share should induce a 25 percent increase in per capita GDP in a decade.

impacts, Oxford Economics estimates that trade with China has boosted US
productivity by 0.17 percent, boosting overall economic growth. Development
of the global supply chain enabled many US firms—Apple, GM, and Ford, to
name a few—to be internationally competitive, enhancing the productivity of
these firms and the US economy as a whole.
In short, China’s development benefits the US economy. When combined, the export
and investment channels of the activities above supported $216 billion, or 1.2 percent
of GDP in 2015, as well as 2.6 million jobs.

Breaking down the impact of Chinese imports
Do these benefits offset the trade gap, and the loss of American manufacturing jobs?
Indeed, the trade gap in goods with China has grown from 0.8 percent of GDP in 2000 to
2.0 percent of GDP in 2015, equivalent to almost half the overall trade deficit for the
United States and most of the current account deficit.
From these numbers, some observers conclude that China is the main cause of the
decline in manufacturing employment in the United States. One study7
estimates that
imports from China have cost as many as 3.2 million manufacturing jobs in the United
States since 2001.
Unquestionably, an abundant supply of low-wage workers in China allowed Chinese-
based factories to displace manufacturers from other countries, including in the United
States. Without adequate policies to retrain laid-off workers for opportunities in
emerging industries, China’s impact can have long-lasting consequences.
Freund and Bolaky (2007) found a 1 percent increase in trade leads to a per capita income increase of more than 0.5 percent.
Also, Brückner and Lederman (2012) found a 1 percent increase in openness leads to a short-run improvement in GDP per
capita of 0.5 percent and a long-run improvement of 0.8 percent after 10 years. Chang et al (2009) also find positive growth
effects, particularly for countries with a complementary reforms.

to the US deficit with
the European Union.
13. 13
US trade deficit with China is overstated
However, the bilateral trade number fails to fully explain the impact of trade with China
on the US economy. As it plugs into the global industrial supply chain, China is the
“Great Assembler.” The OECD estimates that about one-third of the content of Chinese
exports is foreign, compared with just 15 percent of US exports. Although China has
been trying to increase its domestic consumption and move up the value-added chain,
the latest data suggests that even in key growth markets—computer equipment,
electronics, and electrical machinery—the foreign content of goods assembled and re-
exported from China is still roughly 50 percent.
Adjusting the trade balance to account for the value-added content of exports cuts the
US trade deficit with China in half, to about 1 percent of GDP. This is broadly equivalent
to the US trade deficit with the European Union.
And focusing solely on the trade deficit in goods ignores some of the key—and growing—
strengths of the US economy, namely the service sector. The United States has a surplus
with China of 0.2 percent of GDP on trade in services, up from 0.02 percent in 2000. Once
the surplus from trade in services with China and the balance of income from investment
are factored in, the US deficit with China falls to just 0.8 percent of GDP. As a share of
GDP, the overall US trade balance with China has remained relatively stable since 2009.
Fig. 7: The US trade deficit with China has stabilized in recent years
Almost 75 percent of the total US trade deficit with China emanates from the electronics
and textile manufacturing sectors. In both of these industries, China’s growing market
share in the United States actually represents China’s displacement of imports from
other countries: China has been squeezing out traditional apparel manufacturers such
as Mexico, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. In electronics, Oxford Economics’ calculations show
14. 14
the volume of imports of computers and electronic products from Japan have barely
grown since 2000, while South Korean exporters have lost market share.
Lower cost imports benefit US households
In addition, these imports also generate significant—and often overlooked—positives
for US consumers. If you have ever wondered why prices for apparel and furniture, as
well as most household appliances, have decreased over the past 15 years, the Sino-
American trade relationship offers some of the explanation.
These generalized gains spread widely across the US economy and therefore are less
visible than the concentrated job losses that result from the shuttering of a single
factory.
Fig. 8: China-produced content lowers consumer prices
According to the Werner International Labor Cost Comparison, hourly labor costs in the
textile industry were $2.65 in China in 2014 compared with $17.71 in the United States.
In a sector where unskilled labor is a vital piece of the economic equation, replacing
Chinese imports of textiles and clothing with US manufactured products would
significantly raise US consumer prices.
Similarly, while technological advances like cheaper and more powerful microprocessors
explain part of the decline in the price of computers and electronic goods, growing trade
with China is another key factor. China plays an important role in lowering the prices US
consumers pay for next-generation gadgetry—and helping US manufacturers afford
their latest production innovations. It has been estimated8
that assembling iPhones in
8
Kraemer, Kenneth, Greg Linden, and Jason Dedrick, "Capturing value in Global Networks: Apple’s iPad and iPhone." University
of California, Irvine, University of California, Berkeley.
15. 15
the United States instead of China would add $30–$40 to their end price—an increase of
about 5 percent. And if the various foreign-made components of the iPhone were also
assembled in the United States, then the iPhone would be $100 more expensive than
today.
Although Apple’s iPhone may be an extreme case of leveraging global supply chains, it
does illustrate the impact China has on household budgets—and the amount of money
available to spend on goods and services not produced by China. Studies such as Kamin,
Marazzi, and Schindler (2006) and Pain, Koske, and Sollie (2006) show that greater
import penetration from China reduced US inflation by about 0.1 percent annually in the
late 1990s and early 2000s. Extrapolating this as US imports of goods from China
continued rise suggests average prices are 1–1.5 percent lower as a result of imports
from China. Oxford Economics estimates the influence of such low prices boosted US
GDP by up to 0.8 percent in 2015, supporting 1.8 million jobs.
US businesses performing strongly in many sectors with Chinese imports
The iPhone example also illustrates how China helps the United States meet the needs
of its population and enables sectors where the United States has comparative
advantage to grow faster. The product areas that experienced the most rapid growth in
Chinese imports since 2000 are also the sectors where US businesses have seen the
strongest growth. It is no accident that the United States is home to some of the largest
and most successful companies in sectors such as computer and electronic equipment,
transportation equipment, and chemicals. These industries have embraced global supply
chains, cementing their competitive position in the global market place.
Fig. 9: Growth in US Gross Value-Added has come in areas where Chinese imports
have grown
16. 16
This is particularly true in the technology industry, where businesses in both China and
the United States continue to adapt and expand to meet the demands of a rapidly
evolving marketplace. Since 2000, the volume of household spending in the United
States on computers and electronics has grown 15 percent each year, while business
investment on computers has risen 6.3 percent annually. Although China’s market share
is growing, the market itself is growing so rapidly that US industry is also prospering.
In sum, by lowering the prices US consumers pay, and improving the competitiveness of
key sectors of the US economy, goods and services imported from China provide a boost
to US economic activity. Some studies have noted that greater imports from China can
lead to factory closures and job losses. After totaling up the benefits of exports to and
US investments in China, as well as cheaper imports and supply chain improvements, we
calculate that on balance the US gains overall from its economic relationship with China.
Growth in China creates new opportunities for the United States
For many years, US farmers have been major beneficiaries of the expanding demand for
foodstuffs in China, supplying soybeans, pork products, and wheat. Recently, China has
also become an important market for highly sophisticated and relatively expensive
products like airplanes and pharmaceuticals—sectors where American know-how leads
the world.
As underlying wage rates rise, land prices become more costly, and the supply of
Chinese labor is no longer limitless, a transformation is taking place that is likely to
boost the fortunes of US exporters. Rising costs in China and falling domestic energy
prices resulting from the US shale oil and natural gas revolution are helping American
manufacturers become increasingly competitive with their Chinese counterparts.
Burgeoning Chinese middle class an important growth opportunity
As the size and purchasing power of the Chinese middle class grows, these consumers
will demand more of the services and higher-end products that American companies
export. While some 40 million Chinese households now boast annual income in excess
of $35,000, that population is projected to rise four-fold, to 160 million, by 2025.

As China’s middle class expands, we expect demand for American-made goods and
services to rise as well. Ford and General Motors have already established major
footprints in China, now the world’s largest automobile market. In the first half of 2016,
GM sold 1.8 million vehicles in China—400,000 more than it sold in the United States—
while Ford sold 580,000 vehicles in the same time period. A good number of these
vehicles were American made. In 2014, for example, some 300,000 US- manufactured
cars, trucks, and SUVs were exported to China, according to the US Commerce
Department.9

The growth of US-produced services for China is even more rapid. The rise in Chinese
tourism to the United States, for example, is already boosting sales among US retailers,
hotels, casinos, and leisure resorts. US firms are also eager to gain greater access to
China’s financial services market, a potential boost for accounting firms, insurers, and
other financial services. China accounts for 6.5 percent of total service exports from the
United States, and this is projected to rise to 10 percent over the next decade or so.
Sidebar: Reforms in China are necessary to realize potential gains
China’s changing spending patterns – moving from investment-led outlays for factories
and infrastructure, to growth in consumer spending and services – offers enormous
opportunity for US firms to sell more of their expertise to a rising class of Chinese
consumers. From insurance companies and banks to fashion designers and
entertainment and sports franchises, US firms are beginning to find more places to sell
American know-how and services.
However, as economic reforms in China have slowed in recent years, questions are
growing about the extent to which the Chinese government will give foreign companies
equal treatment and greater access to the Chinese market. For example, foreign
insurance firms continue to await further liberalization that would allow them to offer
insurance as well as saving and retirement plans to newly affluent Chinese families who
are now living outside the old economy, where state jobs and pensions were
guaranteed.
China’s economic liberalization and opening up is a critical factor in the ability of US
companies to realize the potential gains in the relationship.

Sidebar: China’s role in global macroeconomic affairs
China’s growth and increasing financial maturity directly benefits US consumers and
industry, and China has also helped the US economy in more indirect ways. Now that it
has emerged as the world’s second-largest economy, China has become a stabilizing
factor when the global macro economy confronts crisis.
This was especially true during the 2008–09 financial crisis, when global demand was
under siege and consumers in the United States and Europe suddenly felt unable to
spend. To counteract a rapid deterioration in consumer demand and confidence, the
Chinese initiated an enormous domestic infrastructure program to help boost spending
and absorb more industrial equipment and raw materials from the United States and
Europe to help stabilize the global economy. China’s decision to “turn on the taps” and
spend more increased its importance to the United States as a trading partner, and its
demand for foreign goods helped re-stimulate the US economy. This boost in domestic
Chinese consumption helped the United States expand net exports in ways that helped
offset very weak domestic demand.

China also helps keep US interest rates low. As a major purchaser of US government
debt, its demand for US bonds has helped keep borrowing costs down for the US
government and the private sector. China now owns about 8 percent of the total stock
of US debt, or about $1.2 trillion in US Treasuries. Despite concerns about China
reducing its investments in US Treasury securities, it maintains a strong appetite for
these assets. And as a large holder of Treasuries, it is in China’s best interest to continue
to be buyers and holders of US debt. From the US perspective, despite any unease with
the Chinese being large funders of US debt, the net benefit of lower rates and the
virtues of unfettered capital flows dominates.

Conclusion: China is important for growth
Our analysis shows that the assumptions regularly cited in the media about impact of
the US trade deficit with China are frequently overstated. This is partly because the
contribution of US services exports to China is often overlooked when tallying the
balance of trade, but also because of the foreign-made content in Chinese exports.
When these points are factored in, the US deficit with China falls from 2 percent to just
0.8 percent of US GDP—less than the US trade deficit with the European Union.
While it’s true that moving manufacturing labor to China has led to fewer such jobs in
the United States, the US-China trade relationship also supports roughly 2.6 million jobs
in the United States across a range of industries.
In fact, the commercial relationship with China benefits the US economy in several
ways:
China is now one of the United States’ major export markets, supporting
millions of jobs—and its importance will only continue to grow.
Chinese investment in the United States supports US jobs and overall
economic growth. Chinese investments also keep US interest rates low,
providing further stimulus for businesses and consumers.
China’s role in the global supply chain improves the competitiveness of US
business and lowers US inflation. Imports from China (and other countries) can
displace jobs in the United States. It is also true that imports can lower costs for
US manufacturers and keep them competitive in international markets, as well
as benefit American households by reducing the cost of living and making more
money available to meet other spending needs.
While job losses in some sectors can be associated with rising global trade, American
workers remain the most competitive in the world. The challenge for policymakers is to
create an effective mechanism for retraining, so workers in industries that are
disappearing can gain new skills suitable for rising sectors.
Princeton economist Alan Blinder, a former vice-chair of the Federal Reserve and an
expert on global trade, argues that the cost of trade is outweighed by its value—and
that an increasingly intertwined world economy is not just beneficial, but inevitable. No
policy, he says, can make “the changes brought about by changing international trade
patterns painless to everybody. But that’s an impossible goal. Change hurts people
always, but it also helps people. And holding back the tide of trade is analogous to
holding back the tide of technology.” 10
The challenge for policymakers is to develop
programs to effectively support displaced workers, while ensuring the United States
remains globally competitive and positioned to realize the net gains from trade with
China and the rest of the world. Better communication of the role of trade in America’s
economic health, household incomes, and employment is also a necessity.
