He expects Trump to sign tariff legislation on day one of his second term. In our interview, Shehzad discusses what this means for US-China relations, along with China’s staggering trade surpluses, and how Europe and emerging markets fit into the looming trade war. We also cover the truth about China’s real estate crisis and the Taiwan problem. Shehzad says Taiwan might be less interested in defending itself against China than many here in the US would like. What does slower growth in China mean for the global economy? Is India the next China? Can China become a consumer-driven economy in the near term? Get Shehzad’s take in our interview.
