I was reading that it is believed that trade with China and the U.S. is likely to remain strong into 2030 and beyond.
We two countries rely on each other for so many things that disentangling us would be too difficult.
In China’s case:
Food for its immense population. Energy for its sprawling industries. Advanced tech
that it can’t yet build for itself.
In America’s case:
Cheap consumer goods and industrial inputs that U.S. consumers and businesses
gobble up. Electronics. Lithium-ion batteries. Key minerals like rare earth elements.
Opportunities for new us businesses to take away from China – tariffs and shipping costs to help equalize costs.
