Donald Trump’s presidency has had far-reaching effects on global economics, and a second term will bring new challenges and shifts, especially for China. During his election campaign, Trump advocated for 60 % tariffs on Chinese goods entering the United States. The implications for the Chinese economy are significant.

On Tuesday, January 21th, join us to explore how Trump’s policies might influence China’s economic direction. The discussion will examine the impact of potential new tariffs, the role of U.S.-China trade relations in shaping global markets, and how Beijing might respond to these external pressures.

Our speaker, Dr. Jue Wang, University Lecturer at the Leiden University Institute for Area Studies, specializes in Chinese economy and Global Political Economy. Her research covers international political economy, development finance, technology policies, and global governance. Dr. Wang’s work has been widely published in leading journals, and she is a recognized commentator on Chinese and international economic issues.
