Storm Watch: Tariffs, Trade and the Rule of Law

Written by Dr. John Rutledge | Mar 27, 2018 5:15:00 PM

Summary: CNBC posted a second video along with an article based on my Power Lunch interview last week. This one is about the likely form and magnitude of Chinese retaliation to the China-targeted tariffs. You can watch the video and read the article by clicking here.

My focus here is on Xi's political need for a strong response, on the inherent unpredictability of single-man decisions on both sides, and on the importance of the rule of law, which neither country strictly observes. Hope you enjoy the discussion.
