As the global financial crisis begins to abate, some Western countries have used ＂global economic rebalancing＂ as an excuse for trade protectionism and restricting the foreign economic development of developing nations. As the basic theoretical justification for the ＂global economic imbalance,＂ the theory of international trade equilibrium is wrong both in theory and in practice, because it has never been proven in the 200 years of history since the Industrial Revolution. ＂Global economic rebalancing＂ contains serious policy traps and does not generate any winners. The exchange rate is only one of the）actors which affect international trade;furthermore, it is not the fundamental mechanism. With the U.S. dollar retaining its status as the key currency of the international monetary system, it is impossible for the United States to achieve long-term foreign economic and trade equilibrium. The United States＇ trade deficit is an inevitable result of the dollar＇s status as an international currency.展开更多

It emphasizes neoliberalism at home, less government regulations, more growth and weakening the welfare state. Intemationally, Trumponomics embraces protectionism and nativism with a focus on US economic interests. Trumponomics caters to the lower-middle classes, a reflection of the country＇s current economic and diplomatic challenges. Trumponomics will bring uncertainty to China-US economic and trade relations. China should carefully study the policies of the Trump administration and prepare contingency plans.展开更多
