Remarkably, Trump has created real breathing room in US-China relations. To make the most of this moment, the US and China must face four hard truths: My op-ed for the FT nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

A cold peace between the US and China is good enough

Ho-fung Hung: Developing countries welcome Chinese investment, more than imports of Chinese finished goods. They are largely aligned with China's desire for a multipolar world. But their industries are very worried that trade will deliver a China shock and deindustrialize them. Live now, tune in 🔻
