Where does the US-China trade war go from here? On tariffs, US will continue with 232s and prep new 301s; I think existing 301 can cover China. But tariffs could be on the back burner in the near term. New focus for US-China is export controls. 1/

A congressional commission warned that China is making big strides in biotechnology and the U.S. must invest more in research and take other steps to protect its national security https://t.co/N18mFVhM3K
@AsiaSociety And with today’s news from China, understanding great power biotech rivalry between Washington and Beijing is even more critical.
